Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices for monitoring physiological parameters do not effectively ensure that suggested measures for improving well-being are effective, nor do they provide means to adapt these measures if they are not effective, and they lack verification of user compliance with suggested measures.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes physiological and breathing monitoring devices to detect user parameters, determine target indices, and adapt breathing exercises in real-time based on deviations from these targets, ensuring personalized and effective well-being improvement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wearable devices provide feedback and advice to improve physiological parameters, then user well-being assessment is enhanced, but the effectiveness of suggested measures cannot be verified
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors physiological parameters before, during, and after breathing exercises, providing feedback on whether the exercises achieve the desired physiological effects. This closed-loop feedback mechanism verifies the effectiveness of suggested measures by comparing pre-exercise and post-exercise physiological states.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically evaluates the effectiveness of breathing exercises by analyzing physiological parameter changes without requiring manual user assessment. The device self-verifies whether the suggested measures were effective by objectively measuring physiological improvements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If devices suggest measures to improve well-being, then proactive user involvement is promoted, but the measures cannot be adapted if not effective
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts breathing exercise recommendations based on real-time physiological monitoring data. If a suggested measure proves ineffective, the system automatically adjusts or replaces it with alternative exercises, ensuring continuous improvement of well-being outcomes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters of the suggested measures by adjusting breathing exercise characteristics (duration, intensity, type) based on monitored physiological responses. This allows the system to optimize effectiveness by adapting to individual user responses and progress.
3Ease of operation
If devices provide suggested measures for improvement, then user engagement is increased, but compliance with correct execution cannot be checked
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback during breathing exercises, monitoring whether users follow the prescribed breathing pattern. This feedback mechanism verifies compliance by comparing actual breathing behavior against the suggested exercise protocol.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual compliance checking with automated physiological monitoring. By using objective physiological measurements rather than self-reporting or manual observation, the system precisely verifies whether users correctly execute the suggested measures.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a system (10) for monitoring a physiological state and/or a mental state and/or an emotional state of a user and providing a personalized breathing exercise to the user, the system including a physiological monitoring device (12) configured to detect a physiological parameter of the user and a breathing monitoring device (14) configured to detect a breathing parameter of the user. The system (10) is configured to determine a target physiological index based at least on the detected physiological parameter, determine a target breathing exercise to be executed by the user based at least on the target physiological index, determine a target breathing index to be achieved by the user during execution of the breathing exercise, compare the target breathing index with the breathing parameter, which is detectable as the user is executing the breathing exercise, and determine a deviation therebetween, and adapt the target breathing exercise based at least on the determined deviation. The invention also relates to a method and a monitoring program for executing the method.
