[Development of Self Training Device for Lung Function Compliance Guided by Meridians]

Area of Science:

• Respiratory physiology
• Medical device engineering
• Pulmonary rehabilitation

Background:

• Lung function compliance and blood oxygen saturation are critical health indicators.
• Traditional deep breathing exercises may lack consistent guidance and feedback.
• Self-guided training methods are increasingly important for chronic disease management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop an innovative self-training device for deep breathing exercises.
• To enhance lung function compliance through guided respiratory training.
• To improve blood oxygen saturation levels using a novel device.

Main Methods:

• The developed device integrates a flow tube, measuring cylinder, and mobile phone holder.
• A meridian guidance audio-visual synthesis training software is utilized.
• The system measures inhaled gas flow rate and total volume for real-time feedback.

Main Results:

• The device exhibits a rational structure and flexible operational capabilities.
• It effectively supports self-guided deep inspiration training.
• The system meets the requirements for structured respiratory exercises.

Conclusions:

• Guided deep inspiration training promotes "deep and slow" abdominal breathing patterns.
• This training method demonstrates potential for improving overall lung function.
• The device offers a viable tool for enhancing respiratory health independently.
