RESPERATE HYPERTENSION TREATMENT


Overview

RESPeRATE, the breakthrough non-drug medical device to lower high blood pressure, is now available without a prescription to the 50 million Americans with high blood pressure.

RESPeRATE’s remarkable, patented technology interactively guides you through therapeutic breathing exercises that have been clinically proven to lower high blood pressure – with no side effects.

Read how and why RESPeRATE lowers blood pressure, view a product demonstration, receive detailed clinical information you can share with your doctor and much more.

Clinical achievements for RESPeRATE, our non-drug medical device for lowering blood pressure, include:

  • The first and only medical device indicated for the adjunctive treatment of hypertension.
  • 14/9 mmHg average sustained blood pressure reductions within eight weeks.
  • No side effects, no drug interactions.
  • Results of six clinical trials published in peer-reviewed medical journals [1-5].

How RESPeRATE Works

RESPeRATE’s patented interactive technology safely and effectively guides patients through breathing exercises that have been clinically proven to reduce blood pressure.

RESPeRATE enables patients to effortlessly slow their breathing rate from the normal range of 14 to 16 breaths per minute to the “therapeutic pattern” of under 10 breaths per minute with prolonged exhalation.

These breathing exercises are difficult to perform properly without continuous individualized coaching. RESPeRATE provides this individualized coaching, in the comfort of your patient’s home.

Since each patient’s breathing rate and pattern change constantly, RESPeRATE’s patented technology automatically customizes the breathing exercises to the patient’s breathing rate and pattern at the beginning and throughout the exercise. During each exercise, RESPeRATE constantly monitors and analyzes the patient’s breathing rate and pattern to create a personalized melody composed of two distinct tones – one tone for inhalation, one for exhalation. As patients listen to the melody and synchronize their breathing with these tones, RESPeRATE gradually prolongs the exhalation tone, thereby guiding the users to the slower therapeutic breathing zone.

While breathing returns to normal after each session, the beneficial effects on the blood pressure accumulate. Within 8 weeks of use (15 minutes at least 3-4 times per week), a significant and sustained reduction in blood pressure can be achieved.

Why RESPeRATE Works


RESPeRATE’s unique therapeutic breathing exercises result in significant and sustained reductions in blood pressure by reducing the body’s sympathetic neural activity and relaxing the muscles surrounding small blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely. In addition, RESPeRATE has been shown to enhance baroreflex sensitivity following the exercise [1]. RESPeRATE’s patented method of interactive device-guided breathing is key to maximizing the effectiveness of the therapy as it allows patients to “effortlessly” reach the therapeutic breathing pattern.
