Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for estimating a biometric parameter using multiple sensors. As described herein, multiple sensors are strategically used to output with increased confidence a biometric parameter. Multiple sensors are strategically used to save power while determining an accurate biometric estimation. Additionally, multiple sensors are used to detect and categorize a sleep apnea event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for non-linearly decreasing an auditory experience output. According to an aspect, a non-linear decreasing rate is applied to an audio output of the auditory experience. The non-linear decreasing rate varies as a function of decibel amplitude over time in seconds. The non-linear decreasing rate comprises a plurality of segments connected together. The audio of the guided breathing is output at the non-linear decreasing rate until a decibel level of the audio output is below one of a decibel level of ambient noises in a user's environment or a predetermined decibel level.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for non-linear breathing entrainment. According to an aspect, a final breathing period is selected, and a current breathing period of a user is measured. A guiding stimulus configured to alter the current breathing period towards the final breathing period over an interval of time at a non-linear prescribed rate is output. A difference between the current breathing period and a target breathing period along the non-linear linear prescribed rate is determined. Based at least in part on the difference, the guiding stimulus and/or the non-linear prescribed rate are adjusted. The guiding stimulus and the non-linear prescribed rate may be stabilized, increased, or decreased to enable the user to reach the final breathing period.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for non-linear breathing entrainment. As described herein, “breathing entrainment” refers to guiding a user's breath or breathing. According to an aspect, an initial breathing period and a final breathing period are selected. Based on the initial and final breathing periods, a non-linear breath rate per minute sequence is determined. A guiding stimulus is output and aligned with the non-linear breath rate per minute sequence. The guiding stimulus is non-linearly altered with the non-linear breath rate per minute sequence to align with the final breathing period over an interval of time. The non-linear alterations of the guiding stimulus vary based on an amount of time the guiding stimulus has been output.
