A wearable cardiac device for providing feedback during device assembly includes a garment configured to be continuously worn and an electrode belt including a plurality of assemblable elements. Each of the assemblable elements is configured for assembly into the garment prior to use of the wearable cardiac device. The plurality of assemblable elements includes electrodes configured to facilitate sensing electrical signals associated with cardiac activity of and/or deliver one or more therapeutic pulses to a patient. At least one of the plurality of assemblable elements includes respective local assembly feedback circuitry. Each respective local assembly feedback circuitry includes an assembly verification sensor configured to sense whether the respective assemblable element is correctly assembled into the garment and local assembly feedback indicator(s) locally disposed on the respective assemblable element and configured to provide a human-discernable feedback alert indicating whether the respective assemblable element is correctly assembled into the garment.
