Abstract

Techniques for facilitating telemetry with an implantable device are provided. In one embodiment, an implantable device includes a detection component configured to detect first vibration activity generated by a mobile electronic device external to the implantable device. The first vibration activity includes one or more defined vibration behaviors. The implantable device further includes a memory that stores executable components, and a processor that executes the executable components stored in the memory. In some embodiments, an executable component includes an analysis component configured to determine whether the first vibration activity has a defined level of similarity with a first vibration pattern identifier. Another executable component can include a communication component configured to conduct a telemetry session between the implantable device and the mobile electronic device based on a determination that the first vibration activity has the defined level of similarity with the first vibration pattern identifier.
