How hard can it be to write an Android version of an iphone app?  Is the
connection protocol with the stimulator inside me different?  Would the
stimulator have to be changed too, or would Android phones communicate
with other devices using the same protocol that iPhones do?

No idea - depends on all sorts of things, including contractual and
licensing. Somewhere between 'not easy' and 'very hard' at a guess.

 
Plus the stimulator+android lash-up would have to go through all the FDA
approval process(es) again.

Yep - that's also a lengthy and expensive process.

My assumption: since iPhones are more common in US, the company decided
to go with an iOS version but does not want to spend the money for the
"poor" Android users who can not afford an iPhone.
