breatherone.com

Asthma and COPD are becoming major health problems. According to the World Health Organization asthma is the most common chronic disease among children and COPD is predicted to become the third leading cause of death in 2030. There are two different treatment options: medicaments and pulmonary rehabilitation. On the market there are very few simple, mechanical devices used for breathing exercises. Those currently available offer only one or two (out of 30-40) kinds of exercise. Moreover, they do not provide any feedback regarding patient's exercising technique, nor are they based on any motivating mechanisms encouraging a regular everyday training. Breather ONE is a small and handy, wireless, electronic device for breathing exercises combined with a breath controlled game. Game characters are controlles by inspiration and expiration. Various tasks in different games require various types of breathing. Our advantages: patient's breathing is precisely controlled throughout the whole rehabilitation process.
