  • Publication number: 20230248935
    Abstract: A processing system includes methods to promote sleep. The system may include a monitor such as a non-contact motion sensor from which sleep information may be determined. User sleep information, such as sleep stages, hypnograms, sleep scores, mind recharge scores and body scores, may be recorded, evaluated and/or displayed for a user. The system may further monitor ambient and/or environmental conditions corresponding to sleep sessions. Sleep advice may be generated based on the sleep information, user queries and/or environmental conditions from one or more sleep sessions. Communicated sleep advice may include content to promote good sleep habits and/or detect risky sleep conditions. In some versions of the system, any one or more of a bedside unit 3000 sensor module, a smart processing device, such as a smart phone or smart device 3002, and network servers may be implemented to perform the methodologies of the system.

  • Publication number: 20220133221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing, managing, and improving a user's sleep are provided. In an example, a sleep score is calculated for the user's previous night's sleep based on a physiological status of the user, and an assessment of the sleep is received on the current day entered by the user or determined by a sleep monitor device, and based on the discrepancy between the calculated score and the assessment, a recommendation is provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20220108797
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing sleep for a group of users. The sleep of each user of the group of users are monitored to thereby obtain monitoring data; and the monitoring data are analyzed to identify at least one common sleep pattern shared by two or more users. Based on the common sleep pattern, recommendations or notifications can be sent to selected members group of users.
