Abstract:

Breathing reminder device and method of using the device. The device is housed in a case sized and adapted to be worn discreetly under the clothing of a user. The case holds a microprocessor, a tactile alarm, and batteries, which power the microprocessor and the tactile alarm. The device is devoid of any display or control mechanism other than a single “On/Off”switch. The novel device and method can include activating a vibratory sequence every selected time period. The vibratory sequence can include an approximately 4 second continuous vibration followed by an approximately 8 second pause followed by another approximately 4 second vibration. Every approximately 15 minutes the vibratory sequence is automatically repeated.
