The RESPeRATE device is a medical device that promotes slow and deep breathing. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reducing stress and lowering blood pressure. The device uses chest sensors to measure breathing and sends real-time information to a small device worn on a belt, which creates a melody to listen to and synchronize breathing. In a study of 149 patients with high blood pressure, those who used the RESPeRATE device were able to lower their blood pressure by 15 points on average. The device was found to be effective in reducing blood pressure because it allows users to relax without having to focus on slowing down their breathing rate. The RESPeRATE device is not just a simple music player, but a biofeedback tool that helps the user achieve relaxation and reduce blood pressure. It is recommended for individuals with high blood pressure to consult with a doctor before trying any over-the-counter treatment, including the RESPeRATE device.
