Calm Commute: Guided Slow Breathing for Daily Stress Management in Drivers
summary
A haptic-guided slow breathing system using a seat-mounted haptic breath-guidance pad reduces breathing rate and increases RMSSD (heart rate variability) during closed-circuit driving after a 20-minute math stressor. A controlled study ( N=24 ) shows an 82% engagement rate, sustained arousal reduction post-intervention, and only minor performance effects with no severe lane departures observed, supporting efficacy and apparent safety for further on-road testing.
