1. A system for controlling a wearable medical device, the system comprising:
an intermediate transceiver comprising:
short-range reception circuitry for, over a given range, receiving signals to the wearable medical device;
short-range transmission circuitry for, over the given range, transmitting signals to the wearable medical device;
longer-range transmission circuitry for, over a longer range exceeding the given range, transmitting the received signals to a user interface located remotely from the patient, longer-range reception circuitry for, over the longer range, receiving signals from the user interface; and
an alarm for notifying a user of the presence of a fault condition; and
a user interface located remotely from the intermediate transceiver, the user interface comprising:
interface reception circuitry for receiving signals from the intermediate transceiver; and
interface transmission circuitry for transmitting signals to the intermediate transceiver;
wherein the user interface is configured to receive an alarm signal from the intermediate transceiver and to relay the alarm signal.
