  • Patent number: 12740903
    Abstract: A remotely deployed, inflatable device designed to reduce or eliminate falls in senior living and assisted care facilities. Upon detecting undesired movement, nurses may deploy one or more inflatable cylinders, thereby inflating the device under one or both sides of the mattress, creating a barrier that prevents the resident from exiting the bed until on-site assistance arrives. It is envisioned that initially the operation of the device will rely on the remote monitoring of residents by one or more operators via live camera feeds. In more advanced versions it is envisioned that software and artificial intelligence will be able to use one or more camera feeds and will be able to supplement or even replace the need for a person to monitor any camera feeds.

  • Patent number: 12733745
    Abstract: The invention relates to a maternity pillow comprising a shell and padding which is contained inside the shell. The shell has a first cover and a second cover which each delimit an internal volume and which are permanently attached to one another, the respective internal volumes of the first and second covers being in communication with each other such that the padding is movable in its entirety from one of the respective internal volumes of the first and second covers to the other in order to reversibly switch the maternity pillow between first and second use configurations. In the first use configuration, all of the padding and the second cover folded on itself are arranged in the internal volume of the first cover, giving the first cover an extended U shape. In the second use configuration, all the padding and the first cover in its folded condition are arranged in the internal volume of the second cover, the second cover thus being C-shaped in the unfolded condition.

  • Patent number: 12727691
    Abstract: The pillow is created to allow sleeping in three positions—left side, back side, and right side. The shapes and sizes of the pillow are taken from anatomical measurements of the body to support the sleeper's size, position and comfort needs. The side position is the height of the sleepers shoulder. The side positions top also tilts the face slightly upward and has a large divot for the ear. The center of the pillow is made for sleeping on the back. It raises the shoulders slightly, and supports the neck. Behind the neck support is a concave depression that will cradle and support the head. However, the pillow does not support the head until it is tilted backwards slightly. The backward tilt of the head should reduce snoring and sleep apnea. The pillow may have 3 layers—base layer, cushion layer, and contact layer.
