Abstract

The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for stress reduction and sleep promotion. A stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes at least one remote device, at least one body sensor, and at least one remote server. In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.

Claims (33)

1. A system for improving sleep, comprising:

a server platform in network communication with at least one regulating device and at least one sensor;

wherein the at least one regulating device is operable to adjust parameters of at least one sleeping article;

wherein the at least one sleeping article includes at least one mattress, at least one mattress pad, and/or at least one blanket;

wherein the server platform receives sensor data from the at least one sensor in real time;

wherein the server platform includes an artificial intelligence module and wherein the artificial intelligence module is operable to recommend an adjustment to parameters of the at least one sleeping article by the at least one regulating device based on the real-time sensor data;

wherein the server platform is operable to receive commands to adjust parameters of the at least one sleeping article from at least one user device;

wherein the server platform is operable to detect contradictions between the received commands and the recommended adjustments and automatically transmits real-time commands to the at least one regulating device to execute the recommended adjustments if no contradiction is detected;

wherein the at least one regulating device adjusts parameters of the at least one sleeping article based on the real-time commands from the server platform;

wherein the server platform determines a status of a user based on the sensor data and determines a heuristic-based adjustment for the at least one sleeping article based on the status of the user; and

wherein the heuristic-based adjustment automatically overrides the recommended adjustments by the artificial intelligence module unless the server platform receives a contradictory command from the at least one user device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one regulating device includes at least one fluid reservoir including thermoelectric modules for heating and/or cooling fluid, and wherein the at least one regulating device is operable to circulate the fluid into and out of the at least one sleeping article.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one heart rate sensor, at least one respiration sensor, at least one microphone, at least one analyte sensor, at least one pressure sensor, and/or at least one movement sensor.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user device includes at least one smartphone, at least one tablet, at least one computer, and/or at least one smart watch.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters include a temperature of the at least one sleeping article.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the artificial intelligence module selects a machine learning model for each individual user based on historical sensor data associated with each individual user and real-time sensor data from each individual user.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the artificial intelligence module automatically determines a chronotype for each individual user and selects the machine learning model for each individual user based on the chronotype of each individual user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the status of the user includes whether the user is currently in bed or out of bed and/or a sleep stage of the user.

9. A system for improving sleep, comprising:

a server platform in network communication with at least one regulating device and at least one sensor;

wherein the at least one regulating device is operable to adjust a temperature of at least one sleeping article;

wherein the at least one regulating device includes at least one fluid reservoir including thermoelectric modules for heating and/or cooling fluid, and wherein the at least one regulating device is operable to circulate the fluid into and out of the at least one sleeping article;

wherein the at least one sleeping article includes at least one mattress, at least one mattress pad, and/or at least one blanket;

wherein the server platform receives sensor data from the at least one sensor in real time;

wherein the server platform includes an artificial intelligence module and wherein the artificial intelligence module is operable to recommend an adjustment to the temperature of the at least one sleeping article by the at least one regulating device based on the real-time sensor data;

wherein the server platform automatically transmits real-time commands to the at least one regulating device to execute the recommended adjustments;

wherein the at least one regulating device adjusts parameters of the at least one sleeping article based on the real-time commands from the server platform;

wherein the server platform determines a status of a user based on the sensor data and determines a heuristic-based adjustment for the at least one sleeping article based on the status of the user; and

wherein the heuristic-based adjustment automatically overrides the recommended adjustments by the artificial intelligence module unless the server platform receives a contradictory command from at least one user device.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one heart rate sensor, at least one respiration sensor, at least one microphone, at least one analyte sensor, at least one pressure sensor, and/or at least one movement sensor.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server platform is operable to receive commands to adjust parameters of the at least one sleeping article from at least one user device.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the artificial intelligence module selects a machine learning model for each individual user based on historical sensor data associated with each individual user and real-time sensor data from each individual user.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the status of the user includes whether the user is currently in bed or out of bed and/or a sleep stage of the user.
