Abstract

A system and method for determining the optimal positioning of an implantable system for sensing physiologic signals within a body. According to a one embodiment of the system, electrodes are positioned on an external surface of a body, and an ECG monitoring device is used to measure cardiac signals between various pairs of the electrodes. One or more of the electrodes may be re-positioned until an electrode pair position and orientation is located that provides a maximum signal reading. This position and orientation may then be used as the position and orientation in which to implant a corresponding device.
