WEARABLE DEFIBRILLATOR SYSTEM COMMUNICATING VIA MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wearable defibrillation system configured to be worn by a patient and to defibrillate the patient, the pattern carrying a mobile communication device capable of exchanging data via a remote comlink with one of other devices in a network, the system comprising:
- a support structure configured to be worn by the patient;
a capacitor coupled to the support structure and configured to store electrical charge for delivering to the patient'"'"'s body so as to defibrillate the patient; and
a communication module coupled to the support structure and configured to establish, with the mobile communication device, a local comlink that is distinct from the remote comlink, andin which the communication module and the mobile communication device are configured to exchange data via the local comlink.

Abstract
A wearable defibrillation system can establish a local comlink with a mobile communication device, such as a smartphone, tablet-type computer and the like. The mobile communication device can in turn establish a remote comlink with other devices in a network such as the internet. Accordingly, communication tasks relating to the wearable defibrillation system can be performed via the local and the remote comlinks, with or without the participation of the patient, who is wearing the system. The wearer can thus use the familiar interface of a mobile communication device for interacting with his defibrillator system. Moreover, he can do so while keeping on his regular clothes, which could conceal completely the wearable defibrillator system. The patient can thus preserve his dignity and privacy.
