Claim 0:
1. A slotted patch antenna assembly, comprising:
a wearable slotted patch antenna that comprises:
a conductive signal layer comprising a radiating surface;
a feed conductive layer comprising a feed point; and
an insulating layer in between the conductive signal layer and the feed conductive layer that is slotted between the conductive signal layer and the feed conductive layer,

wherein the conductive signal layer, the feed conductive layer, and the insulating layer are fabric-based and slotted,
wherein the slotted patch antenna is shaped and sized to be embedded in clothing of a subject with sufficient flexibility to be stretched and bent, and
wherein the slotted patch antenna is electrically tuned and configured to have the radiating surface of the conductive signal layer facing skin of the subject and the feed point of the feed conductive layer connecting to a controller such that the slotted patch antenna is non-inductively coupled to a passive implantable receiving antenna device.
