    Abstract: In one aspect, an example wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system implementing the disclosed techniques includes a support structure, the support structure configured to be worn by a subject. The WCD system also includes a consciousness detection module configured to determine whether the subject wearing the support structure is unconscious. The WCD system further includes an interactive bystander module configured to, responsive to a determination that the subject wearing the support structure is unconscious, generate a first voice prompt inquiring as to a presence of a bystander.

    Abstract: A transcutaneous nerve stimulation system includes a multifunctional earphone assembly that receives a sound signal from a sound source or other sources (such as a signal generator). An amplifier receiving the sound signal from the sound source or independent signal generator amplifies the sound signal to generate an amplified electrical signal. A stimulator, which includes multiple conductive electrode contacts, is coupled to the amplifier to receive the amplified electrical signal. The electrode contacts may protrude from an earbud/headphone or extend from an adjustable probe arm. The amplified electrical signal is used to apply electrical stimulation while the earphone assembly emits audible sounds according to the sound signal. The combined functionality enhances compliance with treatment regimens involving electrical stimulation of vagus nerves and other regions of a subject. Potential indications include, without limitation, major depressive disorder, epilepsy, chronic pain, pre-diabetes, insomnia, cardiovascular disorders, tinnitus, autism, daily stress, and anxiety.

    Abstract: An electrode assembly that includes an electrically conductive layer, a first impedance reduction system, and a second impedance reduction system. The electrically conductive layer forms an electrode portion of the electrode assembly and a first surface to be placed adjacent a person's skin. The first impedance reduction system is configured to dispense a first amount of an electrically conductive gel onto the first surface of the electrically conductive layer in response to a first activation signal. The second impedance reduction system is configured to dispense a second amount of the electrically conductive gel onto the first surface of the electrically conductive layer in response to a second activation signal.

    Abstract: A device for the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve is provided. The device has an elongated symmetrical support with at least one electrode pair, and the support can be applied on a person's forehead in the supraorbital region to cover the afferent paths of the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. Each electrode pair contacts a self-adhesive conductive gel that at least partially covers one surface of the support for attaching the support to the forehead to be applied to two lateral zones with the exception of an insulating central zone. Each lateral zone has one electrode of the electrode pair, an electric circuit for supplying to the electrode pair electric pulses that have a predefined intensity, and a measurement means for measuring the intensity of the supplied pulses that is connected to the electric circuit.
