Definitions

  • Wearable biometric devices are growing in popularity among health conscious technology users. The ability to measure, track and evaluate health indicating variables over a long period of time is a useful tool in gaining insight in to auser's overall health. These biometric devices are often accompanied with software for processing data into fitness information. This information can be displayed as a graph over time or measured against other variables to give health advice such as "eat less” or "run more”. Current collectable data includes heart rate, step count, distance travelled, travel speed and oxygen saturation.
  • the current biometric devices give a very poor indication of overall wellbeing and mental state.
  • the health markers that are most useful in predicting mental health, stress resilience are: heart rate variability, subjective wellbeing, vagal tone, autonomic resilience and low frequency brain waves such as alpha, theta and delta waves.

  • the figures disclose various apparatus for-regulating biological rhythms and assisting meditation, each comprising at least one vibratable element and a means of inducing vibration in the vibratable element at varying frequencies of vibration. Also included in this main embodiment is at least one heart rate monitoring means and a breathing rate monitoring means, and a data processing means.
  • the data processing means includes means for calculating the heart rate variability based on the heart rate measurement and the breathing rate measurement and a means of determining a vibration rhythm, based on the calculated heart rate variability, including vibrations of at least two frequencies, which is induced in the vibratable element.
  • the apparatus includes a heart signal monitor, a breathing signal monitor, a data processing unit 26, and an actuator 27, which comprises a vibratable element 2 and a device for creating vibrations.
  • a biopotential electrode 1 which is used for sensing the heat and breathing signals.
  • the vibrations generated are infrasonic, being less than about 50hertz. These vibrations can be generated directly by a Vibrating element vibrating at the required frequency, or by means of a binaural beat. Best results have been determined with infrasonic vibrations of less than 30 hertz.
  • Biological rhythms are defined in the art as neuronal rhythms such as measured by electroencephalogram (EEG), heart rate and variability as measured by EEG.
  • EEG electroencephalogram
  • ECG electrocardiogram
  • the apparatus detects signals of these rhythms and generates a vibrational rhythm accordingly, based on some predetermined criteria and also based on data gathered during the sensing and feedback process.
  • the data processing means is programmed to select from a variety of rhythms from a data storage means and to manage the feedback process such that if a particular rhythm is not having a positive effect on the stress indication value, then an alternative rhythm will be selected, until a selected rhythm does have a positive effect in reducing the.stress indicator value.
  • the data storage means also include means of storing the identity of a particular user and the rhythms that have been effective in reducing the stress indication value for that particular user so that these rhythms can be prioritised on subsequent uses of the apparatus.
  • the biopotential sensors 1 are positioned around the circumference of a neck pendant 5 and around the circumference of the body harness including a chest band 7a with the main apparatus body 3 including the vibrating means 2 positioned
  • the graph shows the calculation of heart rate variability based upon the measured parameters of the heart rate and the breathing rate.
  • the heart rate variability is calculated by measuring the peak to peak time between each heat between.
  • the heart rate variability can be calculated by measuring amplitude of each beat and calculating the difference in amplitude between one beat and the next.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 show a third embodiment in which the vibrators 2 and biopotential sensors 1 are held in place by a smart vest 7.
  • the main apparatus body 3, including the vibration means, data processing means and battery are arranged on an elongate carrier 6 which is attached to the vest 7. The attachment may be by sewing in or incorporating the carrier 6 into the thread of the vest 7.
  • biopotential sensors 1 located approximately in contact with the, sternum, rib cage and spinal column.
  • vibrators 2 located approximately in contact with the sternum, ribcage and spinal column.
  • This embodiment includes stretch receptors 18 located on the lateral sides of the smart vest 7 to measure ventilation or respiration rate and along the spinal column and back muscles of the smart vest 7 to measure posture and movement.
  • the smart vest 7 also includes a battery pack 16 and Bluetooth communicator 17. All components of the smart vest 7 are held in place by the knitted fibres of an article of clothing.
  • FIG. 8 a further embodiment is shown in which the main apparatus body 3 is supported on a carrier member 6 which is in turn attached to the garment.
  • the carrier member can be used as a support for other components of the apparatus such as sensors 1 , or actuators 2.
  • Figure 9a shows a further embodiment with an additional sensor 1 attached to the main apparatus body 3 by a short wire 21.
  • Figure 10 shows the sixth embodiment which includes a neck band 8.
  • This neck band 8 is preferably located around the user's neck with the biopotential sensors 1 and electrical stimulators in contact with the carotid sinus of the user, with the purpose of stimulating the vagus nerve.
  • This embodiment also includes vibrating elements 2 located along the length of the band 8.
