1. A wearable therapeutic device, comprising:
- a garment configured to include an electrode;
a conductive thread included in at least part of the garment;
a control unit coupled to the conductive thread and configured to identify an electrical connection between a conductive surface of the electrode and the conductive thread and determine whether the electrode is positioned in the garment with the conductive surface facing towards a subject wearing the wearable therapeutic device based on the electrical connection; and
an alarm module configured to indicate positioning information of the electrode in the garment based on the electrical connection.
