Wearable medical treatment device
First Claim
1. A wearable treatment device for treatment of a subject, comprising:
- a plurality of cardiac sensing electrodes configured to be positioned outside a body of the subject and to detect cardiac information of the subject;
at least one treatment electrode configured to be positioned outside the body of the subject and to apply treatment to the subject;
at least one activity sensor configured to be positioned outside the body of the subject and to detect subject activity information;
a monitor having a user interface configured to guide the subject through a predetermined test; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of cardiac sensing electrodes, the at least one treatment electrode, the monitor, and the at least one activity sensor, the controller configured to receive and record the detected cardiac information and the detected subject activity information during the predetermined test, to determine whether treatment should be applied to the body of the subject based upon the detected cardiac information, and to initiate the treatment of the subject in response to a determination that the treatment should be applied to the body of the subject during the predetermined test.

Abstract
A wearable treatment device includes a cardiac sensing electrode, a treatment electrode, a user interface, and a sensor. The cardiac sensing electrode detects cardiac information, and the treatment electrode applies treatment to a subject. The user interface receives quality of life information from the subject, and the sensor detects subject activity and wellness information. A controller coupled with the cardiac sensing electrode, the treatment electrode, the user interface, and the sensor receives the detected cardiac information, the quality of life information, and the detected subject activity and wellness information, and determines that treatment is to be applied to the body of the subject based upon the detected cardiac information. The controller can adjust the treatment based on at least one of the detected subject activity and wellness information and the quality of life information.

13. A method of facilitating care of a subject, comprising:
-
guiding the subject through a predetermined test; sensing cardiac information of the subject and subject activity information of the subject during the predetermined test; recording the sensed cardiac information and the sensed subject activity information during the predetermined test; determining, during the predetermined test, whether treatment should be applied to a body of the subject based upon the sensed cardiac information; and applying the treatment to the body of the subject in response to a determination that the treatment should be applied to the body of the subject during the predetermined test. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
