1. A unit implantable into a living body, of the type which comprises:
- a sensor (14) for at least one parameter of the living body, and a data transmitter (18), associated with an antenna and which carries out the transmission of data representing the parameter at least at a frequency of transmission, the data being intended for an external receiver, characterized in that the sensor (14) includes a pick-up for at least one signal representing at least one parameter of the living body, and a sampling device connected to the pick-up and intended to sample the value of the pick-up signal at a frequency of measurement, and the implantable unit (10) includes a control and adjustment device (24) intended to adjust the frequency of measurement.

Abstract
A therapeutic system, in particular to a medical injection system consisting of an external arrangement (12) includes a data receiver (20) and a data processing device (26) and of an injection arrangement (10) which is implantable into a living body and includes an injection device, a sensor of the living body parameter, a data transmitter (18) and a control and adjusting device (24) which determines a parameter measuring or data transmission condition such as a frequency of measurements for adapting the operation thereof to a patient actual state. The system is used for cancer and other disease chronotherapy.

17. A method for the treatment of a disease of a human or animal patient, of the type which comprises:
-
the simultaneous determination of circadian and ultradian rhythms of the patient affected by the disease by measurement of the patient'"'"'s core temperature, and the administration to the patient of at least one composition effective for the treatment of the patient'"'"'s disease at least one moment of the day determined according to the circadian and ultradian rhythms, characterized in that the step of determination of the patient'"'"'s circadian and ultradian rhythms comprises;
the measurement of the patient'"'"'s core temperature at a frequency of measurement determined by an implanted unit (10), the evaluation of the state of the patient by comparison of the circadian rhythm thus determined continuously with the patient'"'"'s reference circadian rhythm in the implanted unit (10), and according to the state thus determined, the execution of at least one operation selected from the modification of the frequency of measurement;
the transmission of specific warning data; and
the modification of the administration of an effective constituent. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
