چکیده مقاله:
Background: Yogic breathing also called as “Pranayama” is practiced with inhalation (Pooraka),
holding the breath for some time (Kumbhaka) and then exhalation (Rechaka). The effective methods
of yogic breathing keep oneself healthy and also improves immunity power. The yogic breathing
can be practiced irrespective of one’s age and gender and even in the office which helps to reduce
the stress. To get the best results through yoga, a person has to follow certain timings and sit in a
correct posture. Although many devices are existing in the market to monitor heart rate, posture and
breathing during physical activity, there is a need of a device which is simple, cheap, and easy to use
without an additional requirement of a smartphone. Moreover, the proposed device is able to evaluate
the breathing data by transmitting it to a webpage through a Wi‑Fi hotspot of the Microcontroller.
Methods: The developed device has two subsystems: (i) A wrist subsystem to measure the heart
rate, visual aid of breathing and vibration feedback for kapalabhati. (ii) A waist subsystem to monitor
the posture with help of flex sensor and the results are displayed on the display of the wrist device.
It also provides vibration feedback. The inertial measurement unit is used for breath detection. The
subsystems are communicated through SPI communication. The breathing data are transmitted to a
webpage through a Wi‑Fi hotspot of the microcontroller. Results: The various yogic breathing and
normal breathing exercises are tested on different normal subjects using the developed device and
analyzed. The heart rate and beats per minute are evaluated. The heart rate sensor is validated using
a standard medical device and it is observed that there was a ۹۷.۴% accuracy. Conclusion: The
results show that the device is able to accurately monitor different kinds of breathing and additionally
provide heart rate and posture information while performing the breathing exercises.
