Implantable medical device with two or more telemetry systems

This is an implantable medical device, like a pacemaker, designed to communicate wirelessly with an external device. It uses two types of antennas: a short-range coil for close communication and a long-range radio antenna. To save battery, both devices normally stay off, but wake up at synchronized times for one to request a communication session and the other to listen.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advances in low-power microelectronics and efficient RF transceivers. Modern components and battery technology make the power-saving synchronized communication much more practical and effective now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedImplantable electronics, medical device, synchronized RF
