A recent study has found that each individual's breathing pattern is as distinctive as a fingerprint. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel utilized wearable devices to monitor nasal breathing, identifying individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy based on their 'respiratory fingerprint'. This discovery could lead to new insights into physical and mental health treatments. The study also uncovered correlations between breathing patterns and activities, such as different patterns during rest and exercise. Additionally, participants with anxiety reported specific breathing characteristics during sleep. The researchers are now exploring how these findings can be used for disease prediction and potential treatments. (Sciencealert)
