Abstract: A wearable medical device for detecting and treating life-threatening arrhythmias includes a wearable vest portion, sensing electrodes, therapy pads, at least one motion sensor, and a cardiac monitor. The cardiac monitor is configured to detect whether the patient is experiencing a treatable arrhythmia using an ECG signal and in response, determine a confidence level for the detected treatable arrhythmia using outputs from the at least one motion sensor. Determining the confidence level includes detecting patient motion prior to the detection of the treatable arrhythmia. Determining the confidence level further includes increasing the confidence level in response to determining that the patient is motionless coinciding with the detection of the treatable arrhythmia, or decreasing the confidence level in response to determining the patient motion after the detection of the treatable arrhythmia. The cardiac monitor is configured to determine whether to deliver a treatment shock based on the confidence level.

Abstract: According to at least one example, an ambulatory medical device is provided. The device includes a plurality of electrodes disposed at spaced apart positions about a patient's body and a control unit. The control unit includes a sensor interface, a memory and a processor. The sensor interface is coupled to the plurality of electrodes and configured to receive a first ECG signal from a first pairing of the plurality of electrodes and to receive a second ECG signal from a second pairing of the plurality of electrodes. The memory stores information indicating a preferred pairing, the preferred pairing being either the first pairing or the second pairing. The processor is coupled to the sensor interface and the memory and is configured to resolve conflicts between interpretations of first ECG signal and the second ECG signal in favor of the preferred pairing.
