1. A wearable therapeutic device, comprising:
- a first therapy electrode and a second therapy electrode, each configured to be electrically coupled to an external defibrillator;
a garment configured to house the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode and to releasably receive a receptacle configured to store a conductive fluid in a location proximate to at least one of the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode, wherein the garment includes a belt configured to include at least one of an alarm module and a monitor, the belt further being configured to house the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode, to releasably receive the receptacle proximate to at least one of the first therapy electrode and the second therapy electrode, and to electrically couple the receptacle with the garment; and
an induction coil configured to electrically couple the receptacle with the garment, wherein a first winding of the induction coil is disposed in the belt, and wherein a second winding of the induction coil is disposed in the receptacle.
