ウェアラブル端末を用いた心拍の触覚的バイオフィードバック

抄録

Biofeedback, which is a technique for controlling human physiological indices by detecting outputs such as heartbeats and brain waves and re-outputting them through a feedback device, has attracted attention. This technique has been applied to the treatment of diseases and maintenance of health. We developed an application that transfers heartbeats detected using a wearable device to a smartphone and re-outputs them to the subject by presenting vibrations. In order to verify the effect of tactile biofeedback using this system, we analyzed the heart rate variability when subjects were given stress-related tasks. The results showed that the heart rate improved when stress was applied compared to the control task.
