Abstract
A wearable medical device is provided. The device includes electrodes to receive electrical signals from a patient, monitor for a cardiac arrhythmia, and provide a therapeutic shock to the patient in response to detecting the arrhythmia. The device includes a user interface to receive patient input indicating initiation or termination of a high-noise activity. The device can include accelerometers to generate motion signals. The device includes a processor to monitor for initiation or termination of the high-noise activity based on a noise level in the electrical signals, the motion signals, and the patient input. The processor can cause, in response to the initiation of the high-noise activity, an arrhythmia detection process to execute in an activity-induced noise (AIN) robust mode, and cause, in response to the termination of the high-noise activity, the arrhythmia detection process to execute in an AIN sensitive mode.
