Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable arrhythmia monitoring and treatment device for improving confidence in determined arrhythmias prior to treatment includes a plurality of sensing electrodes, one or more therapy electrodes, and an electrode signal acquisition circuit having a plurality of inputs. The electrode signal acquisition circuit is configured to sense a respective signal provided by each of a plurality of different pairings of the plurality of sensing electrodes. The wearable arrhythmia monitoring and treatment device includes a monitoring and detection circuit including at least one processor configured to analyze the respective signals provided by each of the plurality of different pairings of the plurality of sensing electrodes, change a confidence level in a determined arrhythmia condition based on the respective signals provided by the plurality of different pairings of the plurality of sensing electrodes, and initiate a therapy to the patient via the one or more therapy electrodes based on the confidence level.
