“…In clinical applications, biofeedback techniques often serve as a particular intervention or addition to cognitive and behavioral therapy. For instance, biofeedback devices are widely used to treat anxiety disorders (Reiner, 2008) or reduce psychological stress during an early postpartum period (Kudo et al, 2014). In such cases, biofeedback interventions are usually performed with the assistance of a well-trained therapist who introduces the biofeedback instrument, explains the procedure, interprets the meaning of feedback, and instructs the patient to use the feedback to achieve an optimal state.…”

Background: Mainly due to an increase in stress-related health problems and driven by recent technological advances in biosensors, microelectronics, computing platform, and human-computer interaction, ubiquitous physiological information will potentially transform the role of biofeedback in clinical treatment. Such technology is also likely to provide a useful tool for stress management in everyday life. The aim of this systematic review is to: (1) Classify biofeedback systems for stress management, with a special focus on biosensing techniques, bio-data computing approaches, biofeedback protocol, and feedback modality. (2) Review ways of evaluating approaches to biofeedback applications in terms of their effectiveness in stress management. Method: A systematic literature search was conducted using keywords for "Biofeedback" and "Stress" within the following databases: PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ACM, and Scopus. Two independent reviewers were involved in selecting articles. Results: We identified 103 studies published between 1990 and 2016, 46 of which met our inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. Based on the evidence reviewed, HRV, multimodal biofeedback, RSP, HR, and GSR appear to be the most common techniques for alleviating stress. Traditional screen-based visual displays remain the most common devices used for biofeedback display. Biofeedback applications are usually assessed by making both physiological and psychological measurements. Conclusions: This review reveals several challenges related to biofeedback for everyday stress management, such as facilitating user's perception and interpretating the biofeedback information, the demand of ubiquitous biosensing and display technologies, and field evaluation in order to understand the use of biofeedback in everyday environments. We expect that various emerging HCI technologies could be used to address these challenges. New interaction designs as well as biofeedback paradigms can be further explored in order to improve the accessibility, usability, comfort, engagement with, and user experience of biofeedback in everyday use.

Throughout pregnancy and the puerperium significant cardiovascular changes occur. Maternal heart 70 rate increases by approximately 20% from the pre-conception baseline to the third trimester of 71 pregnancy (1, 2), with a further increase during labour (3). Whilst these changes are well 72 understood, the changes in the postpartum period are less well defined. Studies show maternal 73 heart rate returns to baseline weeks to months post-delivery (4-7), yet the early postpartum period 74 remains poorly described. Knowledge of what constitutes normal during this period is clinically 75 pertinent to facilitate identification of sick women, and avoid inappropriate investigation of healthy 76 women. In some cases the cause of postpartum tachycardia is evident (haemorrhage, sepsis) (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). 77In other cases it is less obvious and should prompt further investigation for causes such as occult 78 bleeding, cardiac pathology or pulmonary embolism (3,(13)(14)(15). 79Modified Early Obstetric Warning Scores (MEOWS) are widely used. The parameters used vary (16, 80 17) and have often been developed from a non-pregnant population. Data derived from a 81 postpartum population would improve the pre-existing MEOWS scores validity; providing a platform 82 for further investigation into the relationship between postpartum heart rate and negative 83 outcomes and ultimately the creation of a postpartum specific clinical assessment tool. 84Study Aims 85 1. Describe the distribution of heart rate in the first 48 hours postpartum (at 6, 12, 24 and 48 86 hours post-delivery), in women with no evidence of sepsis, haemorrhage or anaemia. 87 2. Investigate the relationship between postpartum heart rate and other maternal factors 88(maternal BMI at booking, maternal age, method of delivery, puerperal blood loss, discharge 89 haemoglobin and length of hospital stay). 90 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 3 Gynaecologists' guidelines for major postpartum haemorrhage (19)) or whose discharge 111 haemoglobin was < 100 g/l (British Society of Haematology guidelines on maternal and postpartum 112 anaemia (20)). 113 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 4 Materials and Methods 91 Study Design Statistical Analyses 114Statistical analyses were performed using IBM® SPSS® Statistics 22 (The International Business 115 Machines Corporation®, New York, NY, USA). 116Central tendency for heart rate at each time period postpartum (6, 12, 24 and 48 hours) was 117 calculated using the mea μ .
