Abstract
A modular breath tracking and training system having a primary housing with an interactive airway chamber with an airflow responsive element in the airflow path of the chamber with at least one sensor element positioned to detect signals from the airflow responsive element with the primary housing being removably coupled to at least one respiratory orifice interface and operable to direct air between at least one respiratory orifice and the interactive airway chamber of the primary housing during use wherein a user may be guided to perform one or more breathwork exercises through one or more feedback devices.
Claims27
A modular breath tracking and training system comprising:
- a primary housing with an outermost section having a distal opening and an innermost section having a proximal opening and a passageway from the distal opening to the proximal opening, the primary housing including a plus receiving recess extending into the passageway;
- a tech pack including at least one sensor element and an aperture having at least a portion in common with at least a portion of the passageway;
- a separable plug including a secondary housing constructed to slip into the plug receiving recess and removably couple to the primary housing with at least a portion secondary housing disposed within the confines of the tech pack aperture, the separable plus defining an interactive airway chamber disposed within at least a portion of the passageway and through which a volume of air may flow bi-directionally;
- an airflow responsive element disposed within the separable plug and placed in communication with the at least one sensor element when the plug is disposed at least partially within the plug receiving recess, the airflow responsive element constructed to enter into at least one altered state in response to a volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber, the at least one altered state being detectable by the at least one sensor element;
- at least one swappable respiratory orifice interface with a respiratory orifice side opening and a distal opening, the at least one swappable respiratory orifice interface being constructed to removably couple to the innermost section of the housing to place the distal opening of the at least one swappable respiratory orifice interface in communication with the proximal opening of the primary housing and operable to direct air between the at least one swappable respiratory orifice and the passageway of the primary housing during use;
- at least one feedback device in communication with the tech pack, the at least one feedback device constructed to issue a signal corresponding to an actual volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber based on the altered state of the airflow responsive element or a prompting signal corresponding to a desired volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber;
- and
- a power source disposed within the primary housing and in communication with the tech pack to provide power thereto.
A modular breath tracking and training system comprising:
- a primary housing having a distal opening and a proximal opening and a passageway from the distal opening to the proximal opening, the primary housing including an insert receiving s extending into the passageway and terminating in a seat;
- a sensor suite mounted on a substrate with at least one sensor constructed to detect a volume of airflow in either direction along the passageway, the substrate further including an aperture having at least a portion coaxially aligned with and in common with at least a portion of the passageway;
- a swappable insert including a secondary housing removably inserted into the insert receiving recess to abut an interior end of the secondary housing against the seat and position at least a portion of the secondary housing within the confines of the substrate aperture, the swappable insert defining an interactive airway chamber having a window and disposed within at least a portion of the passageway through which a volume of air may flow bi-directionally;
- an airflow responsive element disposed within the insert and placed in communication with the at least one sensor through the window of the interactive airway chamber when the insert is seated within the receiving recess, the airflow responsive element constructed to enter into at least one altered state in response to a volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber, the at least one altered state being detectable by the at least one sensor;
- at least one swappable respiratory orifice interface constructed to removably couple to the proximal opening of the housing and operable to channel a volume of air between the at least one swappable respiratory orifice and the interactive airway chamber during use;
- an onboard light ring in communication with the sensor suite, the light ring constructed to issue a visual signal corresponding to an actual or a desired volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber;
- and
- a power source disposed within the primary housing and in communication with the suite to provide power thereto allowing detection of a volume of air through the interactive airway chamber by the at least one sensor and generation of one or more visual signals emitted by the light ring while the primary housing and swappable insert are supported solely by a user engaging the at least one swappable respiratory orifice with their mouth and conducting a set of breathwork exercises.
A modular breath tracking and training system comprising:
- a primary housing having a distal opening and a proximal opening and a passageway from the distal opening to the proximal opening, the primary housing including an insert receiving recess extending into the passageway;
- a swappable insert including a sensor suite including at least one sensor and defining an interactive airway chamber, the swappable insert removably slipped into the insert receiving recess to place at least a portion of the interactive airway chamber in communication with at least a portion of the passageway through which a volume of air may flow bi-directionally;
- at least one airflow responsive element disposed in communication with the interactive airway chamber and in communication with the at least one sensor, the at least one sensor being constructed to detect a reaction by the airflow responsive element in response to a volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber;
- at least one swappable respiratory orifice interface with a respiratory orifice side opening and an opposing distal opening constructed to removably couple to the proximal opening of the primary housing to direct air between the at least one swappable respiratory orifice and the passageway of the primary housing during use;
- an onboard signal generating device in communication with the sensor suite, the signal generating device constructed to issue a feedback signal corresponding to an actual volume of air based on the reaction of the airflow responsive element or a prompting signal corresponding to a desired volume of air to be passed through the interactive airway chamber;
- and
- a power source disposed within the primary housing and in communication with the sensor suite and onboard signal generating device to provide power thereto to enter a ready state allowing the generation of one or more signals corresponding to a volume of air passing through the interactive airway chamber while the primary housing and swappable insert are supported solely by the user engaging the at least one swappable respiratory orifice with their mouth and conducting a set of breathwork exercises.
