1. A subcutaneously implantable device comprising:
a housing;
a clip attached to the housing, the clip comprising:
an anchoring portion that extends above a top of the housing; and
a mast portion connected to the housing and the anchoring portion, the mast portion being configured to move vertically with respect to a top of the housing to move the anchoring portion vertically with respect to the top of the housing, which moves the anchoring portion between an open position and a closed position to increase or decrease an opening between the housing and the anchoring portion to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue by capturing at least a portion of the muscle, the bone, and/or the first tissue in the opening between the housing and the anchoring portion;
an electrode that is configured to contact an organ, a nerve, the first tissue, and/or a second tissue; and
circuitry in the housing in electrical communication with the electrode that is configured to provide monitoring, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic capabilities with respect to the organ, the nerve, the first tissue, and/or the second tissue.
