System, method and computer program for monitoring health of a person

A system for monitoring health of a person during a health monitoring session (s), wherein the system comprises:

• a heart rate sensor arranged to measure heart beats of the person for providing heart rate measurement data,
• a breathing pacer configured to indicate breathing information to the person, the breathing pacer arranged to operate in:
• a controlled mode comprising timing breathing events to the person, and
• a variable mode comprising indicating information related to a resonance score (RS) to the person;
• a data processing system arranged to provide a predetermined success threshold (ET), the data processing system configured, during a health monitoring session (s), to
• receive (A) the heart rate measurement data from the heart rate sensor,
• analyse (C) the heart rate measurement data such that in the analysis, the data processing system is configured to:
• calculate (C1) instantaneous heart rate data comprising heart rate of each measured heartbeat, calculating performed over a time window (w) in the health monitoring session (s), the time window comprising a timepoint (t), the instantaneous heart rate data being calculated based on the heart rate measurement data received from the heart rate sensor,
• provide (C2) a periodic biofeedback function comprising parameters and a cumulative difference (E) relative to the instantaneous heart rate data, the parameters of the periodic biofeedback function comprising an amplitude (A),
• fit (C3) the periodic biofeedback function into the instantaneous heart rate data within the time window (w) to determine
• the parameters of the periodic biofeedback function at the timepoint (t),
• the cumulative difference (E) at the timepoint (t), and
• the resonance score (RS) at the timepoint (t) from the parameters and from the cumulative difference (E);
• arrange (D) the breathing pacer into the controlled mode to time the breathing events to the person if the resonance score (RS) does not meet the predetermined success threshold (ET), the resonance score (RS) determined by receiving (A) and analysing (C) the heart rate measurement data, and
• arrange (E) the breathing pacer into the variable mode if the resonance score (RS) meets the predetermined success threshold (ET), the resonance score (RS) determined by receiving (A) and analysing (C) the heart rate measurement data.
