Abstract

Apparatus for determining and/or visualising and/or monitoring vital signs such as the respiratory rate and/or heart rate of a user, the apparatus comprising an accelerometer and a processor; wherein the accelerometer is contained within a housing and configured to generate, in use, when the housing is placed in contact with the user's upper body, a signal in response to motion of the user's body; and the processor is configured to receive the signal from the accelerometer and to process the signal to determine, and optionally cause display of, the vital sign. The apparatus may be implemented by a suitably-programmed mobile device (e.g. a smart phone having a built-in accelerometer). Embodiments enable user input, which is intended to be provided at specific times across a plurality of breaths or heartbeats, to cause the processor to provide an indication as to whether the user is concentrating on his or her breathing or heartbeat. This may be used to engender a state of mindfulness on the part of the user, for example to provide therapy to counter the effects of stress, anxiety, pain, depression or addiction disorders, or other psychiatric conditions. The apparatus may also be used for diagnostic purposes, for example identifying respiratory rate associated with a respiratory problem, or identifying heart rate characteristic associated with a heart-related problem.
