Abstract
A method of determining responsiveness of a patient wearing a wearable defibrillator configured to deliver therapy to the patient includes sensing an electrocardiogram signal of the patient wearing the wearable defibrillator via a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes, and determining whether a defibrillation treatment should be provided to the patient via at least one treatment electrode. The method includes causing a user interface to provide a patient prompt from the wearable defibrillator responsive to determining that the defibrillation treatment should be provided to the patient. The method includes receiving a first signal indicative of a first patient response within a time interval, receiving a second signal indicative of a second patient response within the time interval, and withholding the defibrillation treatment to the patient via the at least one treatment electrode in response to receiving both the first signal and the second signal within the time interval.
