Abstract
The operational and functional aspects of one or more IMDs is controlled by physiological data acquired from an external device. Various externally deployed devices collect vital signals for transmission to the IMD. Upon receipt of the signals the IMD cooperatively modifies therapy and diagnostic procedures to be substantially compliant with the received signals. Further, the IMD may store some of the signals for future follow-up or patient data management as needed.
