EMERGENCY CALL PATIENT LOCATING SYSTEM FOR IMPLANTED AUTOMATIC DEFIBRILLATORS

Methods and systems for placing a distress call in response to the operation of an implanted device. The implanted device may be any of a plurality of medical devices capable of monitoring and/or regulating an organ. When threshold conditions are reached, a distress signal transmitted by the implanted device activates an external communications system. The external communications system then places a distress call, which may be responded to by the appropriate medical personnel.
