The invention relates to a breath pacing apparatus, comprising a haptic output unit with a variable haptically perceivable feature, said haptic output unit being provided to change said haptically perceivable feature periodically according to a sequence of desired respiration cycles, wherein a characteristic of the change of said haptically perceivable feature is related to the length of the respiration cycles. The invention is further related to a corresponding method for pacing the respiration of a person. 1. Breath pacing apparatus ,comprising a haptic output unit with a variable haptically perceivable feature,{'sub': 1', '2', '3, 'said haptic output unit being provided to change said haptically perceivable feature periodically according to a sequence of desired respiration cycles (R, R, R),'}{'sub': 1', '2', '3, 'wherein a characteristic of the change of said haptically perceivable feature is related to the length of the respiration cycles (R, R, R), and'}wherein the haptic output unit is an inflatable wristband.2. Breath pacing apparatus according to claim 1 ,{'sub': 1', '2', '3', '1', '2', '3', '1', '2', '3, 'wherein said haptically perceivable feature is changed within each respiration cycle (R, R, R) between a minimum value (Min, Min, Min) and a maximum value (Max, Max, Max),'}{'sub': 1', '2', '3', '1', '2', '3, 'said characteristic of the change of said haptically perceivable feature being the difference between the maximum value (Max, Max, Max) and the minimum value (Min, Min, Min).'}3. Breath pacing apparatus according to claim 1 ,wherein said characteristic is the magnitude of change of said haptically perceivable feature per time unit.4. Breath pacing apparatus according to claim 1 ,{'sub': 1', '2', '3, 'wherein the magnitude of change of said haptically perceivable feature per time unit is varied in a non-linear fashion within a respiration cycle (R, R, R).'}5. Breath pacing apparatus according to claim 1 ,wherein the variable haptically perceivable ...
