With the apparatus, system, method and computer program product, a user may control the operation of implantable devices within the user's body by operation of a personal digital device. The personal digital device may obtain operational settings of the various implantable devices based on information stored within the personal digital device and/or information obtained from a network. The settings of the various implants are established in view of the possible interactions of the implants with one another. The personal digital device further monitors the operation of the implantable devices and the user's biological indicia. Based on the monitoring, the operation of the implantable devices are modified to obtain a desired result. If an emergency situation is encountered, the personal digital device may contact emergency response services with the location of the user so that emergency personnel are dispatched accordingly.Field of SearchTesting or monitoring pacer functionCommunicating with pacer (e.g., telemetry) Remotely changing, (e.g., programming, pacer) parameters or operation Heart rate regulating (e.g., pacing) Promoting auditory function Producing aural effects by stimulation By partially or wholly implanted device Telemetry or communications circuits Ventricular electrocardiographic intervals (e.g., Q-T interval) Eye or testing by visual stimulus Measuring pressure in heart or blood vessel Testing artificially regulated or assisted heart Detecting R portion of signal waveform Devices placed entirely within body and means used therewith (e.g., magnetic implant locator) | |
