Autogenic Drainage: Customizable Breathing Exercise Timer
Autogenic Drainage: A Customizable Breathing Exercise Timer
The Autogenic Drainage app is a valuable tool designed for individuals with lung diseases who practice autogenic drainage, a technique aimed at clearing mucus from the lungs without the need for any equipment. With a customizable timer and voice commands, this app offers a seamless experience for users.
The app provides a default autogenic drainage session tailored by a person with cystic fibrosis. Users can also customize their sessions according to their specific needs, adjusting parameters such as inhale and exhale duration, breath-holding time, and total breaths per phase. Voice prompts guide users through the exercise, indicating when to breathe in, hold, and breathe out. The timer displays session duration, current breath number, and remaining breaths, enhancing user experience.
It's important to emphasize that this app is based on the preferences of an individual with cystic fibrosis and is not developed by medical professionals. It should be seen as a supplementary tool for those already practicing autogenic drainage or individuals interested in trying it, not as a replacement for medical treatment. The app also includes a reference section for additional information.
