Sleep Better Using a Breathing Biofeedback: Dr. Vincent Martinez, Oxa
What is your optimal breathing rhythm for relaxing? How to make sure it is exactly for you? How to sleep better with a sensor on your chest?
Today you’ll hear about
- sleeping better by tracking your sleep
- breathing exercises for anxiety, stress, panic attacks
- HRV or heart rate variability
- and ECG in a T-shirt
- smart textiles
- a sensor that detects how you breathe and when you drift off
- and Alex’s experience using Oxa
My guest, Dr. Vincent Martinez is the CEO of Nanoleq that developed Oxa. He is an engineer who created an unbreakable cable during his PhD in biosensors and bioelectronics. This was the basis to create, with neuroscientists and coaches on board, Oxa.
Oxa is a wearable to help you relax and fall asleep by not only tracking your heart rate but also breathing. The sensor allows live biofeedback and you only have to put a T-shirt a bra or a strap on.
