Medical device configured to test for user responsiveness
First Claim
1. A wearable defibrillator comprising:
- at least one sensing electrode configured to sense an electrocardiogram signal of a patient wearing the wearable defibrillator;
at least one treatment electrode configured to provide treatment to the patient wearing the wearable defibrillator;
at least one response mechanism configured to generate a first signal responsive to being actuated by a person, the at least one response mechanism including a detector to detect a second signal received from a body of the person during actuation of the at least one response mechanism by the person, the first signal being different from the second signal; and
at least one controller operatively connected to the at least one sensing electrode, the at least one treatment electrode, and the at least one response mechanism, the at least one controller being configured to receive both the first signal and the second signal and verify that the patient wearing the wearable defibrillator is the same person that actuated the at least one response mechanism based at least in part on the second signal received by the detector during the actuation of the at least one response mechanism.

Abstract
A medical device is disclosed that includes one or more treatment electrodes, one or more sensors, and one or more controllers connected to the one or more treatment electrodes and one or more sensors. The medical device also includes one or more response mechanisms connected to the one or more controllers. The one or more controllers are configured to receive input from the one or more response mechanism and are also configured to determine whether a patient wearing the medical device actuated the one or more response mechanisms based, at least in part, on the input received from the one or more response mechanisms. In some disclosed embodiments, the medical device is a wearable defibrillator.
