Abstract:
At least one of a first medical device and a second medical device may be implanted within a patient while the second medical device may optionally be proximate but external to the patient. At least one of the medical devices has an antenna having at least two electrodes and at least one of the medical devices has an antenna having at least three electrodes. The medical devices can communicate via conducted communication through the patient's tissue between a first pair of electrodes and a second pair of electrodes. At least one of the pairs of electrodes can be selected in accordance with the signal strength of the communication vector between the first and second pairs of electrodes.

Claim (Index 2):
A method of communicating between a first medical device and a second medical device, the first medical device implanted within a patient and having at least two electrodes and the second medical device being associated with a skin patch that includes a plurality of electrodes, wherein the skin patch is secured to a patient's skin such that each of the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch are in electrical contact with the patient's skin, the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch defining at least a first communication vector between a first pair of electrodes of the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch and a second communication vector between a second pair of electrodes of the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch, the method comprising:\n receiving at the second medical device a message sent by conducted communication from the first medical device using the first communication vector; and receiving at the second medical device the same message sent by conducted communication from the first medical device using the second communication vector.
