Claim:
1. A wearable defibrillator system, comprising: a support structure configured to be worn by a patient; an energy storage module configured to store a charge; two electrodes coupled with the support structure and configured to be applied to two respective patient locations of the patient; a reservoir coupled to the support structure and configured to store a fluid; a fluid deploying mechanism configured to cause at least some of the fluid to be released from the reservoir and be deployed near at least one of the patient locations, so as to cause an impedance between the two electrodes to be decreased; and an impedance measurement circuit configured to sense the decreased impedance, and in which the stored charge is delivered to the patient locations via the electrodes after the sensed impedance meets a discharge condition, and the fluid releasing mechanism is caused to release some more of the fluid, if the impedance is sensed to be above a second threshold.
