WEARABLE THERAPEUTIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wearable monitoring and therapeutic device comprising:
- at least two sensing electrodes;
at least two therapy electrodes;
at least one defibrillator component comprising a power source;
the at least two sensing electrodes and the at least two therapy electrodes being housed within a breathable and stretchable fabric and mechanically connected to the at least one defibrillator component such that, when the wearable monitoring and therapeutic device is positioned on a subject, the wearable monitoring and therapeutic device accommodates the subject'"'"'s chest size and enhances comfort;
the at least two sensing electrodes being electrically coupled to the at least one defibrillator component and configured to monitor an ECG of the subject; and
the at least two therapy electrodes being electrically connected to the at least one defibrillator component and configured to provide defibrillation energy;
an alarm module operatively coupled to the at least one defibrillator component and configured to alert the subject of an impending electric shock to be delivered by at least one of the at least two therapy electrodes; and
one or more response buttons operatively coupled to the at least one defibrillator component, the one or more response buttons being configured to be depressed by the subject to indicate that the subject tis conscious in response to the alert to the subject of the impending electric shock.

Abstract
A wearable therapeutic device includes a garment configured to be worn on a torso of a patient. The garment has an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The garment is configured to house at least one defibrillator component, a first therapy electrode disposed in the anterior portion of the garment, a second therapy electrode disposed in the posterior portion of the garment, and an alarm module configured to alert the patient of an impending defibrillation shock from the at least one defibrillator component to be delivered by at least one of the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode. The first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode are configured to be electrically coupled to the at least one defibrillator component. At least one of the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode is at least one of woven into the garment and comprises a textile material.
