Nose blowing training device

Abstract

A nose-blowing training device includes a nose-blowing interface, a sensor, a processing unit, and at least one output unit. The nose-blowing interface is adapted to be in fluid communication with a user's nasal cavity. The sensor is disposed at a position on the nose-blowing interface in fluid communication with the nasal cavity and is used to sense an airflow flowing from the nasal cavity to generate a plurality of sensing signals. The processing unit determines at least one airflow parameter of the airflow based on the sensing signals and calculates a nose-blowing performance score based on a current training target and the at least one airflow parameter. The at least one output unit generates an output signal based on the nose-blowing performance score.
