    摘要: A wearable medical device is provided for monitoring the cardiac health of a patient, for example, for indications of cardiac anomalies, where the device includes ECG sensors in electrical contact with the patient's body, therapy electrodes for providing electrical therapy to the patient's heart, and a control unit having at least one touch control with force sensor disposed on its housing for contacting with a finger. Signals from the touch control may be analyzed to identify force application below a first force threshold and at or above a second force threshold below the first force threshold, and, responsive to detecting such application of force, user input may be registered. User inputs to the at least one touch control may be used to delay therapy by the therapy electrodes.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system includes a catheter including an insertion tube and a first position sensor, a pusher including a second position sensor, and an expandable assembly including flexible strips disposed circumferentially around a distal portion of the pusher, with first ends of the strips connected to the distal end of the insertion tube and second ends of the strips connected to the distal portion of the pusher, the flexible strips bowing radially outward when the pusher is retracted, processing circuitry to receive a respective position signal from the first and second position sensors, compute location and orientation coordinates for the position sensors subject to a constraint that the position sensors are coaxial and have a same orientation, compute a distance between the computed location coordinates of the position sensors, and find position coordinates of the flexible strips responsively to at least the computed distance.
