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 12):
A method of communicating between an implantable medical device having at least two electrodes and an external medical device associated with a skin patch bearing a plurality of electrodes that define at least a first communication vector utilizing a first pair of the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch and a second communication vector utilizing a second pair of the plurality of electrodes of the skin patch, the method comprising:\n securing the skin patch to the patient's skin such that the plurality of electrodes are in electrical contact with the patient's skin; receiving a message via conducted communication at the external medical device using the first communication vector sent from the implantable medical device; and simultaneously receiving the same message via conducted communication at the external medical device using the second communication vector sent from the implantable medical device.
