The patent US12035995B2 describes an innovative implantable medical device designed to perform therapeutic or diagnostic functions while maintaining efficient communication with a remote monitoring system. The device features a communication component that initiates contact with the monitoring system at the start of its operation. This communication is established through a transmit signal that is sent repeatedly at predefined intervals, ensuring that the device consumes less than 20 mAs of current per day. The device is programmed to activate communication functions only when specific criteria are met, such as having established a certain number of successful connections within a defined timeframe. This design aims to optimize energy consumption while ensuring reliable data transmission.

Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations for the communication device, including the use of established protocols such as MICS, BLE, or Zigbee. The device is intended to remain operational within a patient for an extended period, allowing for continuous communication with the remote monitoring system. It is capable of transmitting monitoring data at regular intervals, further enhancing its functionality. The system also includes provisions for the remote monitoring system to receive signals from the implantable device and initiate a channel allocation procedure for effective communication. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving the functionality and efficiency of implantable medical devices in remote patient monitoring scenarios.
