1. An implantable system for monitoring the condition of a transplanted tissue within a patient'"'"'s body comprising:

  • a housing configured to be implanted between a first tissue and a second tissue within the patient'"'"'s body, the housing including a first outer surface configured to rest against the first tissue, and a second outer surface opposite from the first outer surface, configured to rest against the second tissue;

    at least one anchor to stabilize the position of the housing within the body;

    a first sensing system proximate to the first surface configured to sense the physiological property of the first tissue;

    a second sensing system proximate to the second surface configured to sense the physiological property of the second tissue; and

    a processing system in communication with the first and second sensing systems configured to compute a difference between the physiological property sensed by the first and the second sensing systems.
