An implantable medical device (IMD) comprises a transmitting/receiving (T/R) device for transmitting medical data sensed from a patient to, and for receiving control signals from, a medical expert (a human medical professional and/or a computerized expert system) at a remote location; an electronic medical treatment device for treating the patient in response to control signals applied thereto; and a sensor circuit, having a sensor circuit output, for producing sensor circuit output signal(s) representing medical data sensed from the patient. The IMD also includes logic device which analyzes the sensor circuit output signal(s) to detect a medical abnormality which requires notification of the medical expert at the remote location, and generates notification signal(s) if required. T/R device transmits the notification signal(s) as well as signal(s) representing a medical state of said patient to the remote location. The logic device is also operative to generate local treatment device control signal(s) based on an analysis of the sensor circuit output signal(s) and to generate a remote treatment device control signal in response to real time remote control signal(s) received from the remote location. The medical treatment device of the IMD thus delivers therapy to the patient in response to either the local treatment device control signal(s) or the remote treatment device control signal(s), or both.
