Claim 0:
1. A wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) system, comprising:
a support structure configured to be worn by a patient;
an energy storage module configured to be coupled to the support structure and to store an electrical charge;
one or more defibrillation electrodes configured to be coupled to the support structure;
a discharge circuit configured to be coupled to the energy storage module and to discharge the electrical charge through the patient with the one or more defibrillation electrodes while the support structure is worn by the patient;
a measurement circuit configured to render a physiological input from a patient physiological signal;
a processor configured to make a determination from at least the physiological input whether the patient physiological signal indicates that the patient could be suffering from Pulseless Electrical Activity (P.E.A.), wherein the processor is separate from the one or more defibrillation electrodes; and
a speaker system coupled to the processor, the processor further configured to cause the speaker to output, when the determination indicates that the patient could be suffering from P.E.A., a transmitted sound that communicates a request to a bystander to aid the patient, the aid including performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitations (CPR) on the patient.
