Should a life vest be worn when the patient is hospitalized on a telemetry unit ?

Hi all!

I'm a design student working tirelessly to design a better wearable defibrillator as part of my degree project and I'm trying to find a past or present patient that I can ask questions of and gain some feedback on concepts and ideas...

Any help at all from anyone would be hugely appreciated! My email is:

I'd love to hear from anybody that can provide advise!

I am writing on behalf of my grandmother, who was just told she needs to wear a Zoll LifeVest for the next six weeks. She is having an enourmous amound of difficulty putting it on herself and is private enough she doens't want help getting it clasped. Can you give me any advice on how to make it easier for her to get it on and clasped herself? Thank you.

My husband's LifeVest alarm goes off, on average, a couple of times a day but he's conscious and able to disengage the ensuing shock.  Why does the alarm go off while he's still conscious?

Is there any problem if a patient wearing the life vest wears a 24 hour holter monitor, especially if he receives a shock?

Be careful of this product and business practices of this company, especially if your doctor decides that you do not need this product before you leave the hospital.  By the time you get the product (which you never used) returned to the company, they will have billed insurance companies and will demand payment for the balance. Company representatives seem complicit in keeping the product in the hands of the patient in order to charge rental fees.  The company does not seem to have much of a plan for patients who are ordered by doctors not to use the device by the time the patient leaves the hospital.  The unused product just sat in my hospital room for 2 to 3 weeks and could have been picked up by the company representative.  It seems to me that communications between the hospital and the company are quite unprepared if the doctors decide the patient does not need the device by the time the patient leaves the hospital.  I am beginning to understand why medical costs are going up.  Charges are being rendered for non-service and non-use.  It is pretty ugly.  It is not the way I do business and not the way I treat people.  It is not a good sign for the American medical profession-- very sloppy.
