摘要 |
The invention relates to a system for providing communication within a patient's body, comprising:
a first implant including a first acoustic transducer; and
a second implant, including:
an electrical circuit configured for performing one or more commands;
an acoustic switch coupled to the electrical circuit and operable to activate the second implant between an active state and a dormant state;
a second acoustic transducer coupled to the switch and configured to receive one or more acoustic signals transmitted from the first acoustic transducer, wherein the acoustic switch closes and causes the second implant to change from the dormant state to the active state in response to the one or more acoustic signals from the first acoustic transducer; and
a sensor coupled to the electrical circuit, the sensor configured for measuring at least one physiological parameter within the body and transmitting a physiological data signal to the first implant when the second implant is in the active state. |
