Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators (WCD)
For patients who are at temporary risk of sudden cardiac arrest (such as those recovering from a recent heart attack), the Wearable Defibrillator provides a non-invasive safety net.
The 2026 "Smart Vest" is made of breathable, high-tech fabric with embedded dry-contact sensors. If the vest detects a lethal arrhythmia, it warns the patient with vibration and voice prompts before automatically deploying a therapeutic gel and delivering a life-saving shock. All data is instantly transmitted to the hospital via a 5G-enabled transmitter in the garment.
