Abstract
A device for acclimatising at altitude comprising a breathing mask defining a confined air space when it is placed on the face of a user. The mask comprising a suction valve to let the surrounding air enter inside the confined space when breathing in; an expiration valve to let air exit with a determined resistance, so as to create an overpressurisation of air in the confined space, when breathing out; and a sensor to establish information about the pressure of the confined space behind. The acclimatisation device in addition comprises a unit for processing the pressure information configured to establish a breathing characteristic of the user and compare it to at least one target value, in view of recommending to them an adjustment of the breathing mode thereof. A method for functioning this device is also provided.
