Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to assess the usability of a breathing platform for relaxation. Healthy participants will be used and required to fill in questionnaires during and at the completion of the study based on the ease of use of the system.
Interventions
The breathing platform will use a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) device controlled by an app. Device and mobile phone (to run app) will be provided to participants by investigators on day 1 of the study. The device settings will include a pressure delivery between 4 and 20 cmH2O. Treatment session will involve starting their CPAP (with the 'on' button) and using the app for breathing instructions. Intended frequency of intervention involves 10-30 mins of therapy per day, for 4 days. Fee
