  • Publication number: 20240157160
    Abstract: A wearable article is provided as a wearable component of a medical device configured with elements to accommodate electrode pads in a manner that offers flexibility, cushion, and temperature regulation for comfort of a patient, as well as facilitating distribution of pressure on the electrode pads against the body of the patient. A containment portion of the wearable article houses the electrode pad and a spacer structure. The spacer structure is flexible to move as the body of the patient moves and yet provides a level of stiffness for pressure on the underlying electrode. Numerous springy elements dispersed in the spacer structure provide a thickness and open space for air circulation through the spacer structure, resulting in temperature regulation of the wearable article.

  • Publication number: 20160331986
    Abstract: A WCD system includes a support structure configured to be worn by a patient, a portable antenna coupled to the support structure, a rechargeable WCD battery, and a charger for recharging the WCD battery. The portable antenna is configured to transmit wirelessly to the charger an encoded message from components that are worn by the patient on the support structure. The charger also includes a charger antenna configured to receive the encoded message, and a user interface configured to output a human-perceptible indication responsive to the received encoded message. Accordingly, a message communicated from the WCD system will appear at the location of the charger, which is a more predictable location for a human attendant than the location of the patient.
