Abstract
A wearable defibrillation system includes an output device and a motion sensor. The output device emits a sound or a vibration for the patient, who responds by deliberately tapping the system. The motion sensor registers the tapping, and interprets it as a reply from the patient. The reply can be that the patient is conscious, or convey data that the patient enters by tapping the right number of times, or that the patient wants attention, and so on. Since the patient does not need direct access to the wearable defibrillation system for tapping it, he or she can wear it under their other garments, which helps preserve their dignity and privacy.

72. A wearable defibrillator system, comprising:
-
a support structure configured to be worn by a patient; electrodes configured to deliver a charge to the patient while the support structure is worn by the patient; an output device; a processor configured to input a query while the support structure is worn by the patient, and to cause the output device to emit a questioning human-perceptible indication that conveys the query; a monitoring device configured to monitor patient data while the support structure is worn by the patient; and a motion sensor configured to detect motion of the patient while the patient responds to the query; and a memory configured to store the patient data responsive to a motion detected by the motion sensor after the questioning human-perceptible indication is emitted. - View Dependent Claims (73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81)

82. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs which, when executed by a processor of a wearable defibrillator system that has a support structure configured to be worn by a patient, and further has a motion sensor, an output device, a memory, and a monitoring device, they result in:
-
monitoring patient data while the support structure is worn by the patient; inputting a query while the support structure is worn by the patient; causing the output device to emit a questioning human-perceptible indication that conveys the query; then receiving a detection signal from the motion sensor, in which the motion sensor is configured to detect motion of the patient while the patient responds to the query; and causing the patient data to be stored in the memory responsive to the detection signal. - View Dependent Claims (83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89)
