Abstract: In embodiments, a wearable cardiac defibrillation (WCD) system includes one or more flexible ECG electrodes. The WCD system may have a support structure that is dimensioned to be worn so as to press the electrodes towards the body of the patient. The electrodes may be made from appropriate material so as to flex in order to match a contour of the body of the patient. An advantage over the prior art is that the flexible electrode may make better electrical contact with the patient's skin, and therefore provide a better ECG signal for the WCD system to perform its diagnosis.

Abstract: A Wearable Medical System includes a support structure that is configured to be worn by a person. The WMS also includes an electronics module, a cable assembly, and at least one electrode that can be configured to be coupled to the support structure. The cable assembly includes a base member and a cable coupled to the base member. The support structure can be dimensioned relative to the person's body to be worn with tension, and be resiliently stretched under the tension. The stretching of the support structure can stretch the base member of the cable assembly, thus increasing the effective length of the cable, while reducing or even eliminating slack in the cable.

Abstract: A device configured to detect a physiological signal of a patient includes a monitor portion and one or more electrode portions. At least one of the electrode portions is made as a non-contact electrode or a dry electrode, with further adjustments according to embodiments. The electrode portion includes a substrate that has a back side and a front side that is configured to be brought proximately to the patient. At the front side, a sensing electrode may detect a patient signal, and a guard electrode may protect this detection by having a suitable shape, such as a ring. At the back side, a circuit may generate an output signal from the detected signal, and couple it to an output conductor. Moreover, the adjustments may include that the circuit can couple a version of the output signal to the guard electrode.
