Abstract: An apparatus for generating biofeedback, in particular during a relaxation exercise for lowering blood pressure, comprises at least one interface for receiving a pulse wave signal that represents a pressure pulse or volume pulse of a pulse wave in a blood circulation system as a function of time and an ECG signal. The apparatus comprises an evaluation device that is configured to determine a pulse transit time on the basis of the pulse wave signal and the ECG signal, perform an evaluation of a pulse wave form of the pulse wave signal and generate the biofeedback depending on the pulse transit time and/or the evaluation of the pulse wave form. The apparatus comprises an output interface for providing the biofeedback.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for generating biofeedback, in particular during a relaxation exercise for lowering blood pressure, comprises at least one interface (12, 13) for receiving a pulse wave signal that represents a pressure pulse or volume pulse of a pulse wave in a blood circulation system as a function of time and an ECG signal. The apparatus (10) comprises an evaluation device (11) that is configured to determine a pulse transit time on the basis of the pulse wave signal and the ECG signal, perform an evaluation of a pulse wave form of the pulse wave signal and generate the biofeedback (31) depending on the pulse transit time and/or the evaluation of the pulse wave form. The apparatus (10) comprises an output interface (14, 30) for providing the biofeedback (31).
