Diagnostics are a good example of something that can be separated from the actual safety-critical stuff. Have a dumb output from the safety-critical processor that the radio interface can read.

If you're changing batteries or medicine, you're going to be accessing the device physically anyways, and so can change settings / dosages then.

Et cetera.

A battery change of a pacemaker or an ICD is required every 6 years or so, if not later. You may need to change settings far earlier than that.
