Wearable systems for an electrotherapy device

A wearable system, comprising:

• a garment, comprising:
• a flexible material configured to wrap around a portion of a user's body, the flexible material comprising:
• an interior surface configured to contact the user's body, and
• an opposite exterior surface;
• at least two electrodes integrally formed with the garment and positioned at the interior surface and configured to contact a targeted part of the user's body, wherein the at least two electrodes each comprise a conductive fabric;
• an electrode connector for each of the at least two electrodes positioned at the exterior surface and operably connected to a respective electrode of the at least two electrodes, wherein the electrode connector for each of the at least two electrodes comprises a stud on the exterior surface and a rivet on the interior surface, and wherein the rivet includes a coating of non-conductive material;
• and
• an electrotherapeutic device configured to deliver a therapeutic signal to the at least two electrodes via the electrode connectors.

A method for providing therapeutic electric current to a treatment site of a patient comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible garment comprising at least two electrodes, wherein the at least two electrodes are integrally formed with the flexible garment, wherein the at least two electrodes each comprise a conductive fabric, and wherein each of the at least two electrodes comprises an electrode connector comprising a stud on an exterior surface of the flexible garment and a rivet on an interior surface of the flexible garment, and wherein the rivet includes a coating of non-conductive material;
• providing an electrotherapeutic device operably connected to the at least two electrodes;
• positioning the flexible garment with respect to a user's body such that the at least two electrodes are each in contact with a targeted part of the user's body;
• and
• forming a therapeutic signal configured to reduce pain at a treatment site.
