Abstract
A wearable defibrillator for monitoring treatable arrhythmias in a patient in the presence of background noise includes a plurality of sensing electrodes configured to generate ECG data, one or more therapy pads, one or more audio devices, and one or more processors. The one or more audio devices include a microphone configured to detect background noise and a speaker. The one or more processors are configured to determine, from at least the ECG data, whether the patient is experiencing a treatable arrhythmia; cause, via the speaker, an audible alarm in response to determining that the patient is experiencing the treatable arrhythmia; delay a delivery of treatment to the patient in response to determining that at least the predetermined level of background noise exists; and during the delay, perform at least one of obtaining additional data or running an additional test to verify that the patient is experiencing the treatable arrhythmia.
