Abstract: A medical warming system includes a plurality of heating elements respectively adapted to be disposed closed to various parts of a plurality of patients' bodies, a first group of sensors disposed at the proximity of the heating elements and configured for measuring the temperatures of the heating elements, a second group of sensors adapted to be disposed at the various parts of the patients' bodies and configured for measuring the temperatures of the various parts of the patients' bodies, and a controller being in communication with the first group and the second group of sensors. The controller is configured for receiving temperature data from the sensors and controlling the temperature of each heating element accordingly. Each heating element includes a conductive layer made from a nano-thickness material.

Abstract: Systems and methods in which temperature regulated cushioning systems are provided in hygienic, convenient configurations are shown. Embodiments provide heating and cooling to provide temperature regulation adapted for human comfort and/or therapeutic effects. Heating and cooling systems implemented with respect to cushioning systems are configured to provided desired temperature regulation for the cushioning system when in use while facilitating hygienic cleaning of the cushioning system. Cushioning structure is preferably adapted to be low weight and to facilitate desired temperature regulation while providing a structure which passively supports and cushions expected loads. Cushion media utilized according to embodiments is modular, such as may comprise a plurality of smaller blocks adapted to cooperate to form a larger cushioning structure.
