The present invention is related to a breath pacing device () for pacing the respiratory activity of a subject, comprising an output unit () for outputting a sequence of output signals, a control unit () provided to control the output unit, and an input unit () connected to or integrated into the output unit for generating an input signal related to a respiration characteristic of a subject. The control unit is provided to control the length of the sequence at least based on characteristics of the input signal. The invention is further related to a corresponding method for pacing the respiratory activity of a subject.

Breath pacing device and method for packing the respiratory activity of a subject

To provide a breath pacing system and a corresponding method for pacing the respiratory activity of a subject that provide the possibility to adapt the output signal to the respiration characteristics of the subject automatically and effectively a breath pacing system () for pacing the respiratory activity of a subject and a respective method is proposed, comprising: an input unit () for generating or determining an input signal related to a respiration characteristic of a subject, a signal analyzing unit () provided to recognize a signal pattern within the input signal, and an output unit () for outputting output signals corresponding to a desired breathing sequence, wherein said output unit () is provided to be activated, upon a starting signal, to output a sequence of output signals comprising a signal pattern related to a previously recognized signal pattern.
