A remote support system for programming active implantable medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, cardioverters or multisite devices. A station is equipped with a programmer that is able to read by telemetry information stored in an implantable device and transmit over a telephone line, the information thus read, namely patient data and/or internal parameters for operating the programmer or programming parameters of the implant. A remote analysis station is configured to receive the information sent on the telephone line and display and/or analyze the transmitted information. The programmer includes an input to collect a voice signal and a multiplexor so that the data and/or parameters and the voice signal collected, are delivered at the multiplexor output as a multiplexed signal that, in turn, is applied to a tele-transmission circuit, e.g., a modem. The analysis station includes a circuit to restore the audio and a demultiplexor to receive the signal on the telephone line and deliver at the separate output channels the data and/or parameters and, in addition, the aforementioned voice signal. The data and/or parameters delivered by the multiplexor are applied to a display and/or an analysis circuit to analyze the patient data, and the voice signal is applied to a restitution circuit to provide an audio signal, enabling bidirectional real time voice communications over the same transmission line carrying the patient data.
