Abstract
A system and method for controlling a monitoring mode or treatment mode of an implantable medical device based on the detection of an external signal. The system and related method allow for more frequent monitoring of medical parameters at times where more frequent monitoring is necessary, such as during or after a dialysis session, with less frequent monitoring at other times, allowing for a more efficient medical device. The invention also allows for the frequency or mode of treatment by the implantable medical device, or the transmission of data from the implantable medical device to be controlled based on the external signal.
