Abstract
Background and methods: A novel therapeutic system for the treatment of hypertension was developed on the basis of a slow-breath training mechanism, using a microbreathing pressure sensor device for the detection of human respiratory signals attached to the abdomen. The system utilizes a single-chip AT89C51 microcomputer as a core processor, programmed by Microsoft Visual C++6.0 to communicate with a PC via a full-speed PDIUSBD12 interface chip. The programming is based on a slow-breath guided algorithm in which the respiratory signal serves as a physiological feedback parameter. Inhalation and exhalation by the subject is guided by music signals.
Results and conclusion: Our study indicates that this microbreathing sensor system may assist in slow-breath training and may help to decrease blood pressure.
背景与方法:基于慢呼吸训练机制,利用附着在腹部的微呼吸压力传感器装置检测人体呼吸信号,开发了一种治疗高血压的新型治疗系统。该系统以AT89C51单片机为核心处理器,采用Microsoft Visual c++ 6.0编程,通过PDIUSBD12接口芯片与PC机进行高速通信。该程序基于慢呼吸引导算法,其中呼吸信号作为生理反馈参数。受试者的吸气和呼气是由音乐信号引导的。结果和结论:我们的研究表明,这种微呼吸传感器系统可能有助于慢呼吸训练,并可能有助于降低血压。
