ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectric device and method are provided for setting or adjusting parameters or functions of an implanted device, such as the pacing rate of a pacer, at the will of its user/wearer or others, simply by making slight impacts on the user/wearer's body near the implanted piezoelectric device. The device has a piezoelectric sensor which picks up the physical impact and converts it to an electrical signal. Additional amplification and detection/decoding circuits can be provided to strengthen the signal and to separate intentional impacts from any unintentional impacts and noise.
