Abstract
A wearable medical device is provided. The wearable medical device includes a garment that includes a sensing electrode, at least one of an inductive element and a capacitive element included in at least part of the garment, and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine a confidence level of information received from the sensing electrode based on at least one of an inductance of the inductive element and a capacitance of the capacitive element.
Claims14
A wearable medical device, comprising:
- a garment worn by a subject, the garment comprising one or more electrocardiograph sensing electrodes configured to receive electrocardiograph information from the subject;
- at least one of an inductive element and a capacitive element included in at least part of the garment;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a confidence level of the electrocardiograph information received from the one or more electrocardiograph sensing electrodes based on at least one of a change in an inductance of the inductive element and a change in a capacitance of the capacitive element, the confidence level indicating whether the one or more electrocardiograph sensing electrodes are properly positioned on the subject.
