1. An implantable device, comprising:

  • a housing configured to be implanted at least partially within a patient;

    a memory, coupled to the housing, that stores executable components;

    circuitry, coupled to the housing, and configured to at least one of obtain sensed physiological data associated with the patient or deliver a therapy to the patient; and

    a processor, coupled to the housing, that executes the executable components stored in the memory, wherein the executable components comprise;

    a security component configured to generate security information based on reception of a clinician telemetry session request from a clinician device via a first telemetry communication protocol, the security information comprising a session identifier and a first session key, and the clinician telemetry session request comprising a clinician device identifier associated with the clinician device; and

    a communication component configured to;

    activate telemetry communication by the implantable device via a second telemetry communication protocol based on sending the security information to the clinician device using the first telemetry communication protocol; and

    establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using the second telemetry communication protocol based on determining that a connection request, received via the second telemetry communication protocol, was transmitted by the clinician device based on inclusion of the clinician device identifier in the connection request.
