Introduction to eSense Respiration
Biofeedback breathing training with eSense Respiration is about observing your
breathing through changing bars, curves, music, sounds, vibrations, light from light
bulbs, and more. This gives your consciousness a new perspective on breathing, self-
perception is trained, and a feedback cycle is created.
But it is also about the change of the breathing, towards a slower, deep abdominal
breathing, which has many positive effects and can be trained by a breathing target in
our app.
We combine the measurement and feedback of breathing in the eSense App with
guided relaxation exercises, guided breathing exercises and meditation and offer you
a total experience beyond biofeedback. In addition to extensive feedback variants, you
can evaluate your measurements with many statistics, document your progress and
export the recordings as CSV and PDF files. Your data belongs only to you! You have
full access to the raw data.
Respiration is measured according to the principle of strain measurement. With every
breath, your chest and abdomen space will rise and fall, and the belt you put on over
your clothes willstretch slightly. You can put the eSense Respiration StretchBelt either
around the chest or around the abdomen. Abdominal breathing is measured and
trained more frequently. eSense Respiration has a spring that translates the pressure
of the belt into readings. The eSense Respiration Sensor is used for transmission to
your smartphone and tablet via its microphone input. Our eSense app evaluates these
signals and displays them in a comprehensive form.
Breath Measurement and Biofeedback Training
To reduce stress and its vegetative symptoms, biofeedback training can be performed
by monitoring and reporting your breathing. Frequently, feedback alone is enough
without specifications, and the user automatically breathes more calmly and
evenly.
In addition to this measurement and feedback, it is also possible to specify how the
user should breathe. The app includes a breathing aid for this purpose. A bar, line or
sphere changes by rising or zooming to symbolize inhalation. A falling of the beam or
lines, as well as a shrinking of the sphere shows an exhalation. The user follows this
guideline by breathing. The breathing target is freely adjustable regarding inhalation -
hold - exhale - hold.
