Abstract:
A target respiration rate is determined for a user where, when the user breathes at the target rate, the user's vagal tone is improved, which provides a physiological benefit to the user, e.g., stress reduction without drug intervention. The user is directed to breathe at different rates while heart rate and breathing rate are measured. A value representative of vagal tone is generated from the measured heart and breathing rates for each directed breathing rate. The breathing rate that produced the lowest generated vagal tone value is determined to be the user's target respiration rate.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4  further comprising:\n providing to the user a third indication to breathe at the second target respiration frequency for each of a third plurality of time periods; \n providing to the user, for each breath in each of the third plurality of time periods, an indication to pause breathing for a pre-determined pause duration after each inhalation and after each exhalation, wherein the second target respiration frequency is maintained, and wherein the pre-determined pause duration is different for each of the third plurality of time periods; \n determining, from measurements taken from the user, a third heart rate variability value and a third respiratory sinus arrhythmia value for each of the third plurality time periods; \n combining, in whole or in part, for each of the third plurality of time periods, the third heart rate variability and the third respiratory sinus arrhythmia value to create a third vagal tone value for each of the third plurality of time periods; \n comparing the created plurality of third vagal tone values to each other to determine a third optimal vagal tone value; and \n modifying the second target respiration frequency to include a target pause between inhalation and exhalation, the target pause based on the pre-determined pause duration corresponding to the third optimal vagal tone value.
