Abstract :
Computer games are developed to encourage practice of thoracic or abdominal breathing for physiological and pathological treatment. It is demonstrated by using an exercise shirt embedded with two sets of dual sensors controlled by LM555 and PIC24FJ256 microprocessors, with animated display onto a computer screen. Results and future work are discussed.
