A groundbreaking study reveals that each person's breathing pattern is as unique as their fingerprint. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science fitted 97 participants with a tiny wearable device that monitored nasal airflow for 24 hours, achieving a 96.8% accuracy in identifying individuals based solely on their breathing rhythm. This ‘respiratory fingerprint’ could transform biometric identification and offer new insights into physical and mental health, linking breathing patterns with body mass index, anxiety, and depression levels.
