Abstract
A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) comprises a support structure to be worn by a patient, an energy storage module to store an electrical charge, a discharge circuit coupled to the energy storage module, a measurement circuit, a user interface that includes a speaker, and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor a physiological signal of a patient with the measurement circuit to detect cardiac arrhythmia when the patient is wearing the support structure, determine whether a validation criterion is met in response to detection of a cardiac arrhythmia, provide no alarm with the user interface the validation criterion is being determined, and cause a shock to be delivered to the patient from the energy storage module by the discharge circuit in the event the validation criterion is met.
