Patent number: 10980353Abstract: A mattress, bed, cushion, or other device to support a user in a pre-determined posture. The mattress, bed, cushion, or other device includes compressible cells configured to inflate based on characteristics of particular contact areas of the user, and contact, in response to inflating based on the characteristics, the user in various contact areas to support the pre-determined posture. In particular, inflating the compressible cells based on characteristics of particular contact areas reduces the risk of the user developing pressure ulcers.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: MEDICUSTEK, INC.Inventors: Aaron R.

Patent number: 10687755Abstract: A wearable physiological monitoring device is provided. The wearable physiological monitoring device includes a wearable object, a sensing module and a processing module. The sensing module is disposed on the wearable object and is configured to stretch based on a local displacement of target organ of the under-test person contacted by the wearable object to generate a change of a sensing value thereof. The processing module is configured to calculate a physiological changing mode that includes physiological information and occurrence time information based on the change of the sensing value. The physiological information includes a number, duration, a degree or a combination of the above of the stretching of the wearable object to determine the health condition of the under-test person.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: MedicusTek Inc.Inventors: Chung-Cheng Wang, Chia-Ming Hsu, Yu-Chun Hsu, Yi-Yuan Chen
