Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a medical device for monitoring and controlling arrhythmias, and for restoring functions of a fibrillating heart in a subject by therapies directed by a physician via two-way communication between the device and the physician, comprising (a) an implant; and (b) a wearable unit comprising a programmer, and a position-locating module; (c) a first interface for communication between the implant and the programmer; and (d) a second interface for two-way communication between a physician in an emergency team and the programmer through the position-locating module, wherein data on the location of the subject and the subject"s heart conditions are sent to the physician for evaluation and instructions for therapy are sent from the physician to the programmer. The present invention also provides for a method of emergency treatment of a subject with spontaneous cardiac arrest to restore the subject"s effective cardiac function, comprising activating the claimed medical device and applying therapy under the direction and control of a physician.
