Zusammenfassung:A communication system (10) for wireless data transmission between an implantable medical device (IMD, 40) and an external device (60) and a respective communication method are disclosed aiming at the increase of longevity of an IMD energy source. The communication system comprises a communication unit (62) and a processor (61). The IMD (40) is configured to monitor a bodily parameter of a patient and/or is configured to deliver a therapy signal to the patient, wherein the IMD comprises a transceiver module configured to exchange the data with the communication unit of the external device in an uplink direction from the transceiver module to the communication unit and in a downlink direction from the communication unit to the transceiver module. Further, a respective computer program product and computer readable data carrier is described.
