Abstract: A motion sickness mitigation device includes a textile material having a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, and a first raised portion extending from the first surface and configured for contacting a skin of a user. The textile material defines a first pocket and a second pocket therein between the first surface and the second surface, and the second pocket is spaced apart from the first pocket. The device further includes a controller disposed within the first pocket and configured for transmitting an electrical signal. The device also includes a first electrical excitation pad disposed within the second pocket, covered by the first raised portion, and disposed in electrical communication with the controller. The first electrical excitation pad is configured for receiving the electrical signal and electrically stimulating the skin of the user through the textile material to thereby mitigate motion sickness.

Abstract: An example system for mitigating motion sickness within a vehicle is provided. The system includes a motion sickness mitigation device (MSMD) integrated into the vehicle and configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses upon actuation. The system also includes a controller operatively connected to the MSMD. The controller is configured to: obtain signals indicative of a potential motion sickness condition; determine whether a motion sickness conditions exists based on the signals; and, in response to determining that a motion sickness condition exists, actuate the MSMD.
