Patent ID: 7917222

Claim:
An organ interface system for communicatively connecting at least one organ of a body with a user, comprising: (a) at least one housing mechanism configured to be spaced at least in part within a bone of a subject, the at least one housing mechanism having at least one device contained or partially contained therein; the at least one housing mechanism containing a treatment portion having an inner wall, at least a portion of which is thermally conductive or houses at least one thermally conductive element; and wherein the portion of the at least one thermally conductive inner wall of the treatment portion is adapted to transfer thermal energy to, or absorb thermal energy from, tissue disposed in abutting engagement with the inner wall; (b) attaching means configured to attach the at least one housing mechanism to the bone; (c) at least one communication mechanism configured to communicatively connect the at least one organ to the at least one device; and (d) a source adapted to operatively transfer thermal energy to, or absorb thermal energy from, tissue disposed in abutting engagement with the inner wall, wherein said source is disposed externally to the subject; and (e) wherein the at least one device is configured to operatively sense, monitor, store, record, log, transmit, analyze, quantify, detect changes in, predict changes in, warn of changes in, modify, or control the stare or activity in the at least one organ.
