Abstract
A system for administering medical therapy includes an implantable medical apparatus containing an audio transmitter and an audio receiver for respectively transmitting and receiving extracorporeally audible audio signals. The system also includes an extracorporeal programming and control apparatus, which also includes an audio transmitter and an audio receiver. The medical apparatus can thus communicate directly, in both directions, with the extracorporeal programming and control apparatus by means of audio signals. Such communication can take place, for example, via a telephone line, so that the patient in whom the medical apparatus is implanted need not be physically present at the location of the extracorporeal programming and control apparatus in order to establish communication.
