Abstract: A wearable telemetry arrangement is used with a medical information communications device in a telemetry system for communicating with an implantable medical device. In an example embodiment, the telemetry arrangement includes an article configured and arranged to be physically coupled to and donned on a body. In addition, an antenna member is located on the article that is configured and arranged to establish a communications link between the implanted device and the medical communications system. The telemetry arrangement of the present invention provides a reliable and non-invasive system that conveniently and chronically collects cardiac and other implanted medical device data. Further, the system is adaptable to patient management modules and portals to provide remote connectivity to web-based platforms and data management systems.
