Claim 19:
20. A wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs which, when processed by at least one processor of the WCD system, the WCD system including a support structure configured to be worn by a patient, an external defibrillator coupled to the support structure, a motion sensor coupled to the support structure, and a timer coupled to the support structure, the WCD system performs operations comprising:
defibrillating the patient while the support structure is worn by the patient;
generating, by the motion sensor, motion event data;
determining a duration of an inert period during which a motion statistic of the motion event data is less than a motion threshold;
determining whether the duration of the inert period exceeds an inert threshold; and
in response to a determination that the duration of the inert period exceeded the inert threshold, causing the output device to output a human-perceptible alert.
