Abstract
A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to a top side of the housing, a first prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing, and a first electrode on the first prong. The clip is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a tissue. The first prong is configured to contact a heart. The first electrode is configured to contact the heart. Sensing circuitry in the housing that is configured to sense an electrical signal from the heart, and therapeutic circuitry in the housing is in electrical communication with the first electrode and is configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart through the first electrode.

A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
- a housing;
- a clip attached to a top side of the housing that is configured to be positioned around a muscle, a bone, and/or a tissue to anchor the device to the muscle, the bone, and/or the tissue without piercing the muscle, the bone, and/or the tissue;
- a first prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing that is configured to contact a heart;
- a first electrode on the first prong that is configured to contact the heart;
- sensing circuitry in the housing that is configured to sense an electrical signal from the heart;
- and
- therapeutic circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the first electrode that is configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart through the first electrode.
