Health AI company Vagus.co has launched a 30-second breathing test for Apple Watch. Its goal is to help users improve their breathing, which in turn can reduce stress and anxiety. 

The test enables users to see how they breathe. The folks at Vagus say this feature is unique and different from other apps, which only visually advise how to breathe. With BREATHE ECG, users can see how they are doing – and using this feedback loop, they can learn how to breathe better. 

The cost is, for a limited time, US$2.99. This includes one year of  unlimited testing.
