Systems, devices, and methods for providing electrotherapy

Abstract

A therapy electrode apparatus for dispensing conductive gel to skin of a patient wearing a wearable defibrillator includes a therapy electrode, at least one reservoir comprising the conductive gel, and a gel deployment device comprising at least two reactive chemicals. The at least one reservoir is configured to release the conductive gel between the therapy electrode and a patient's skin prior to a delivery of one or more therapeutic shocks. The gel deployment device configured to, on receiving a treatment signal from a controller of the wearable defibrillator operably connected to the gel deployment device, cause the at least two reactive chemicals to come into contact to produce a pressurized fluid to release the conductive gel from the at least one reservoir between the therapy electrode and the patient's skin.
