| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There have been no tools for helping to maseter and for evaluating the degree of mastering relaxation therapy, which is used to treat stress-related diseases. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to develop a smartphopne-based system for helping to master and evaluating the degree of mastering relaxation therapy using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) technique. Assocaitons were assessed between subjective evaluation of mastering relaxation therapy and measures of heart rate variability (HRV) using wearable ECG monitors in natural settings. The results showed that subjective evaluation of mastering relaxation therapy was significantly associated with LF/HF of HRV, an index of sympathetic nervous responses. In conclusion, smartphone-based subjective evaluation of mastering relaxation therapy might be helpful to master and to assess the degree of mastering.
