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 4):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein a time period of the first plurality of time periods has a first duration, the method further comprising:\n providing to the user a second indication to breathe at a pre-determined respiration frequency for each of a second plurality of time periods, wherein:\n each of the second plurality of time periods has a second duration less than the first duration, \n each of the second plurality of time periods has a pre-determined respiration frequency that is unique among the pre-determined respiration frequencies for the second plurality, and \n one of the second plurality of time periods has a pre-determined respiration frequency that is the first target respiration frequency; \n determining, from measurements taken from the user, a second heart rate variability value and a second respiratory sinus arrhythmia value for each of the second plurality time periods; combining, in whole or in part, for each of the second plurality of time periods, the second heart rate variability and the second respiratory sinus arrhythmia value to create a second vagal tone value for each of the second plurality of time periods; comparing the created plurality of second vagal tone values to each other to determine a second optimal vagal tone value; and setting a second target respiration frequency based on a second respiration frequency from the time period corresponding to the second optimal vagal tone value, the second respiration frequency selected from the second pre-determined respiration frequency or a second actual respiration frequency.
