Abstract:
1. An implantable device comprising: a body generally forming an elongated tubular shape and adapted to being implanted in each of an intravascular, extravascular and perivascular space within patient's body; an electronic component secured to the body having at least one sensor for sensing electrical or physiological conditions within the patient's body and having at least one electrode for stimulation of tissue at or near the location of implantation wherein the electronic component is configured to output a stimulation through the at least one electrode in response to the sensed electrical air physiological conditions; a wireless communication component secured to the body for communicating to and from the device information about the sensed electrical or physiological conditions from the sensor to a second implantable device of similar construction, a controller adapted to coordinate the response to the sensed electrical or physiological conditions with the electronic component and the second device; and an induction coil integral to at least a portion of the body for providing power to the electronic component; wherein the controller is configured to communicate with the electronic component and the second device to: (i) sense with said sensor at a first location where a physiologic stimulus is present and sense at a second location associated with said second device where the physiologic stimulus is absent; (ii) apply a first stimulation to said electrode at said first location to treat the physiologic stimulus; and (iii) apply a second stimulation by way of the second implantable device at said second location to prevent the physiologic stimulus from reaching the second location; wherein the physiologic stimulus is a seizure.
