  • Abstract
    Breathing is one of the most important functions in human body. Usually, people do not know enough about how to breathe. Therefore, we develop a system which can detect the userpsilas breathing status and assist him by multimedia. Our system allows a user to know their bodypsilas physical conditions and, through the multimedia interactive feedback of the sense, the user can check weather their physical conditions are normal. This physiological biofeedback system provides users an effective way to learn efficient breathing and emotional control, and finally it helps to improve physical and mental health. In this way, it can help the users to remain in relaxed condition most of the time. By combining smart clothing, interactive multimedia, and expert knowledge of medical research and clinics, we build a smart clothing system which can amend the userpsilas breathing habit, strengthen his immunity and improve his physical and mental health in a friendly and natural way.
