  • Publication number: 20230218225
    Abstract: Described are systems for beds that can include sensors for sensing physical phenomena in an environment surrounding a bed, a display for outputting information about the environment, the bed, and a sleeper, and a controller communicably coupled to the sensors. The controller can receive the sensed physical phenomena from the sensors, analyze the physical phenomena to determine at least one of environmental, sleep, and health metrics of a sleeper in the bed, and determine, based on at least one of the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper, control signals to modify the environment surrounding the bed. The controller can also output, at the display, the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper. The controller can also transmit the control signals to a second controller in order to engage a home automation device. The physical phenomena can include ambient sound, ambient light, ambient CO2 concentration, and/or ambient temperature.

  • Publication number: 20220305231
    Abstract: Time data is received from a clock. A user selection of an alertness rating is received. A template of general behavior recommendation is received that has been completed with information specific to the user. The information specific to the user is generated based at least on the i) readings. The method also includes ii) time data. The method also includes and iii) user selection of alertness rating. A behavior recommendation is assembled by completing the template with the information specific to the user. The computer system output is generated with the assembled behavior recommendation.

  • Publication number: 20220133164
    Abstract: A bed has a mattress. A sensor senses cardiac activity of a user of the bed and sends, to computing hardware, data messages recording the sensed cardiac activity of the user. Computing hardware performs operations that include receiving the data messages from the sensor; determining, from the data messages, a heart-rate variability metric for the user at a plurality of time-points in a plurality of single sleep session; calculating, for a given sleep session using the heart-rate variability metric for the user for the given sleep session, a recovery-metric that reflects the degree of cardiac restoration that the sleep session has provided to the user; and displaying the recovery-metric in a user interface.
