Abstract
A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing, a clip attached to the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue, and circuitry in the housing that is configured to provide monitoring, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic capabilities with respect to an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue. The circuitry includes sensing circuitry and/or therapy circuitry, a first power source, and a transceiver. The device further includes an antenna attachment including a head configured to be subcutaneously positioned in a patient and an arm extending between the housing and the head, wherein the head is in electrical communication with the first power source and the transceiver, and wherein the antenna attachment is flexible.
