Various improvements are provided to breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance devices. A portable device is provided which optionally includes a gas canister, a feedback system for implementing pressure control, and a visual output for indicating adherence to a breathing exercise to the user. The pressure control may provide regulation of different pressures for inhalation and exhalation.

Breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance device

A breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance device is provided for home use. The device is for providing support and guidance during the training of breathing exercises. The device takes account of external data which relates to one or more of: the environmental conditions in which the device is being used; activity information in respect of the user; physiological sensor data about the user which is not related to breathing characteristics.

The present invention relates to a system () and method () capable of indirectly monitoring respiratory and cardiac variables. A decomposition technique on time-series of features extracted from the chest audio signal &#x3b1;(t) is proposed. The proposed monitoring system () may acquire the acoustic signal on the chest of a subject () by means of a wearable transducer (). The proposed system may estimate a number of physiological variables such as flow estimates, respiration rate, inspiration and expiration markers and cardiac related variables. Cough and apnea detection, adventitious sound recognition, activities performed, and information about energy estimation and the status of a monitored subject can be derived as well.
