1. An ambulatory medical device comprising a plurality of subsystems, the ambulatory medical device comprising:
a garment to be worn by an ambulatory patient;
an electrode subsystem that comprises
an electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode that is coupled to the garment and that is configured to acquire ECG data descriptive of cardiac activity of the ambulatory patient, and
a therapy electrode that is coupled to the garment and that is configured to provide a therapeutic shock to the ambulatory patient; and
a controller comprising
a user interface disposed on a housing of the controller,
at least one capacitor,
a capacitor charging circuit configured to be electrically coupled to the at least one capacitor and charge the at least one capacitor for delivery of the therapeutic shock, and
at least one processor configured to
execute a self-diagnostic test of the electrode subsystem that includes an ECG falloff test for the ECG electrode,
execute a self-diagnostic test of the controller that includes a discharge test for the at least one capacitor, and
provide a device health report display for the ambulatory medical device to the ambulatory patient via the user interface, the device health report having a plurality of sections comprising
a first section of the device health report display associated with the garment, the first section comprising information regarding at least one of garment fit and garment laundering,
a second section of the device health report display associated with an electrode belt of the ambulatory medical device, the second section comprising information regarding an operational status of the electrode subsystem based at least on results of the ECG falloff test, and
a third section of the device health report display associated with the controller, the third section comprising information regarding an operational status of the controller based at least on results of the discharge test.
