  • Publication number: 20220087617
    Abstract: Embodiments may relate to an intelligent patient monitoring system, which may include a weight support device, a computer, and a display. The weight support device supports a patient and includes a sensor grid layer with a plurality of sensors to measure pressure data. The computer predicts a pressure injury outcome and/or a fall outcome based on the pressure data. The pressure injury outcome includes a prediction of risk of the patient developing a pressure injury. The fall outcome includes a prediction of risk of the patient experiencing a fall. The computer may utilize a machine learning model to determine either or both outcomes. The display presents a notification generated based on the pressure injury outcome or fall outcome. The notification indicates that an adjustment of a positioning of the patient is needed to aid in the prevention of the pressure injury or the fall.

  • Publication number: 20220079514
    Abstract: Embodiments may relate to an air-permeable weight support system, which may include a microclimate fabric layer and an air-permeable capacitive sensor layer below the microclimate fabric layer. The air-permeable capacitive sensor layer may include two air-permeable substrates, each carrying a plurality of electrically conductive pathways that are impermeable to air. The two air-permeable substrates may securely position the electrically conductive pathways to define a sensor grid and position the electrically conductive pathways that are impermeable to air to be spaced apart to define a plurality of air pathways for the air-permeable capacitive sensor layer. The sensor data may be used to determine a sleep state of the person using the weight support system. A computer may identify the poses of the person based on the pressure sensor data. A machine learning model may rely on the poses, the heart rates, the respiration rates to determine the sleep state.

  • Patent number: 10729876
    Abstract: Sleep environment control systems adjust sleep environments independently for individual users. A sleep environment control system delivers multiple environment adjustments via one opening to a user supported by a mattress. The environment adjustments include airflow, water vapor, light, and sound. The sleep environment control system can be placed in adjacent to the mattress thereby to deliver the environment adjustments to the user. The environment adjustments are delivered to the user in a localized fashion such that they do not disrupt other users. The sleep environment control system further generates the one or more environment adjustments.
