1. An ambulatory medical device capable of delivering therapy to a patient, the ambulatory medical device comprising:
a user interface pod comprising at least one response mechanism having a state capable of being activated by one response button; and
a controller operatively connected with the at least one response mechanism, the controller including at least one processor coupled with a memory, the controller configured to:
detect a physiological parameter having a value indicative of a health disorder of the patient;
notify the patient of impending therapy delivery in response to the detection of the physiological parameter;
monitor the state of each at least one response mechanism of the user interface pod within a first predetermined time period; and
delay therapy delivery to the patient in response to detection of a change in the state in a single response mechanism of the at least one response mechanism of the user interface pod within the first predetermined time period.
