  • Patent number: 11937950
    Abstract: In at least one example, a medical device is provided. The medical device includes at least one therapy electrode, at least one electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode, at least one acoustic sensor, and at least one processor coupled with the at least one acoustic sensor, the at least one ECG electrode, and the at least one therapy electrode. The at least one processor can receive at least one acoustic signal from the at least one acoustic sensor, receive at least one electrode signal from the ECG electrode, detect at least one unverified cardiopulmonary anomaly using the at least one electrode signal, and verify the at least one unverified cardiopulmonary anomaly with reference to data descriptive of the at least one acoustic signal.

  • Publication number: 20240090779
    Abstract: A wearable treatment device for monitoring physical activity and providing therapy to a subject includes a garment, cardiac sensing electrodes configured to detect cardiac information for the subject, at least one activity sensor configured to monitor at least one of motion or position for the subject, treatment electrodes configured to deliver treatment shocks to the subject, and a controller. The controller is configured to guide the subject through a physical activity, measure the subject's performance of the physical activity using the detected cardiac information for the subject and the monitored at least one of motion or position for the subject, monitor the detected cardiac information for the subject to identify whether the subject is experiencing a treatable arrhythmia, and determine a confidence level for an identified treatable arrhythmia using the monitored at least one of motion or position for the subject.
