With 20+ years of advancements and insights from 1M+ patients, the modern LifeVest® is the most proven, patient-preferred LifeVest ever.1

The modern LifeVest:

Proven outcomes:

AI-enhanced algorithm:

Most comprehensive WCD coverage:

ECG classifier:

Patient app:
With continuous innovation for patient comfort, the next generation LifeVest WCD garment marks the third advancement of the LifeVest system over the last five years. Patients rate the newest LifeVest® garment as more comfortable and easier to use.1
20+ years of LifeVest design enhancements have led to a median real-world Wear Time® of 23.4+ hours/day.2-4
LifeVest® ranks #1 in patient compliance this decade at 23.4+ hours/day (median) based on peer-reviewed publications and real-world data.2-4
When early SCD risk is high, the modern LifeVest WCD delivers incomparable safety, as shown across nearly 20,000 patients in SCD-PROTECT (2025).2
“It’s comfortable. It was extremely easy. People don’t even know you’re wearing it.”
-Tanya, LifeVest patient
SCD-PROTECT, which featured a modern version of the LifeVest WCD, confirms the urgent need for SCD protection in both NICM and MI/CAD populations. Early SCD risk remained high, even with widespread use of GDMT.2 A recent study of >20,000 patients presented at AHA 2025 confirm these findings.5
When early SCD risk is high, trust the proven efficacy of LifeVest
The VEST Trial per-protocol analysis results demonstrated that patients that wore LifeVest realized significant mortality reductions in the first 90 days.12
ZOLL® uses AI-based AArD technology to filter out non-physiological electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, reducing an already low rate of false alarms.
1 in 14 patients experience an actionable arrhythmia during LifeVest use.6 Developed with machine learning, LifeVest ECG Classifier filters out noise and identifies arrhythmias that may require intervention — from ablation to ICD implant.
See how ECGs captured by LifeVest enabled physicians to modify their patient’s treatment path.
The LifeVest Patient App helps patients get the most out of their LifeVest experience.
