  • Publication number: 20240032857
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data associated with a sleep session of a user. The method also includes determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced an event based at least in part on the data. The method also includes causing pressurized air to be directed from a respiratory device to a multi-compartment bladder in response to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the event to aid in modifying a position of a head of the user.

  • Publication number: 20240016455
    Abstract: An alert system usable to protect an individual from infectious disease is disclosed. The alert system can make use of one or more body-worn sensors to identify different entities within an environment, as well as their positional relationship (e.g., distance) to a reference location (e.g., the user and/or the alert system). The alert system can present alerts, such as through an augmented reality (AR) display, to identify potential risks and provide information to help minimize risk of infection. The AR display can identify risks with helpful and easy-to-interpret graphics or other overlays. Potential risks can include proximity to other individuals in an environment, contact with high-touch surfaces (e.g., fomites), insufficient cleaning (e.g., insufficient handwashing techniques), and others. The alert system can monitor the environment in real-time to assist the user in preventing transmission of pathogens to or from the user.

  • Publication number: 20220273234
    Abstract: A system includes one or more sensors one or more sensors configured to generate data associated with a sleep session of a user. The system also includes a multi-compartment bladder configured to be positioned adjacent to a user during the sleep session. The system also includes a memory storing machine-readable instructions. The system also includes a control system including one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to determine, based at least in part on the generated data associated with the sleep session, that the user is experiencing or has experienced an event and responsive to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the event, cause the multi-compartment bladder to be modified to aid in causing the user to move.
