National Instruments' (NI) LabVIEW-based breathing trainer with biofeedback and plethysmography is a pc-guided trainer that aims to provide support in recovering proper breathing for patients who have undergone surgical operations (cardiac, respiratory, and anything of the likes), patients with damage in the ribcage, and those having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is a combined technology of plethysmography, incentive spirometer, and LabVIEW application. Through the integration of these technologies, the trainer monitors pulse rate of the patient as he/she undergoes training from the incentive spirometer and displays the result on the LabVIEW-based pc application. It also allows the patients to be guided throughout their training sessions by providing feedback and further instructions.The combination of measurement of health parameters and the biofeedback of the system is the key for the system being a breathing trainer. The monitoring of lung capacity and pulse rate exhibit the status of the oxygen intake and distribution of the user; furthermore the biofeedback teaches the user how to improve such measurable health parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
