[0023].The present invention relates to a remote-controlled sensory bed designed specifically for bedridden patients, incorporating advanced therapeutic features to improve patient comfort and facilitate passive movements. The bed integrates a sensory control system that offers adjustable vibration, temperature regulation, and sound therapy, all operable via a user-friendly remote control interface. Additionally, the bed is equipped with motion sensors to monitor patient posture and assist in controlled passive movements, promoting improved blood circulation and reducing joint stiffness. An artificial intelligence (AI) module enhances the functionality of the bed by allowing for adaptive sensory stimulation tailored to individual patient needs and facilitating remote monitoring by healthcare professionals. This novel device addresses the challenges faced by bedridden patients, offering a holistic solution to enhance rehabilitation and overall well-being, making it suitable for use in home settings, hospitals, and physiotherapy centers.
[0024].The present invention relates to a remote-controlled sensory bed specifically engineered for bedridden patients, designed to significantly enhance their comfort, therapeutic experience, and overall quality of life. This innovative bed addresses a critical gap in patient care for individuals suffering from conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, and severe neurological disorders, which often confine them to bed for extended periods. The prolonged immobility associated with these conditions can lead to numerous complications, including reduced blood circulation, muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and skin integrity issues. As such, the need for a solution that not only addresses these complications but also empowers patients is paramount.
[0025].At the core of the remote-controlled sensory bed is a sophisticated sensory control system that integrates a range of therapeutic features. These features include adjustable vibration settings, which can help stimulate circulation and alleviate discomfort; temperature regulation, allowing for a customizable thermal environment that promotes relaxation; and sound therapy, which utilizes calming audio stimuli to enhance the patient's emotional and psychological well-being. This comprehensive sensory experience is managed through an intuitive remote control interface, designed for ease of use by both patients and caregivers, ensuring that the bed can be operated efficiently to meet varying therapeutic needs.
[0026].One of the key advancements of this invention is the incorporation of advanced motion sensors strategically placed throughout the bed. These sensors monitor the patient's posture in real time, providing critical data that can assist in facilitating controlled passive movements. Passive range-of-motion exercises are essential for maintaining muscle and joint function, particularly for patients who lack the ability to engage in active movements. The sensors allow for automated adjustments, ensuring that the patient can safely and effectively perform these exercises within a set range of motion, thereby improving blood circulation, maintaining joint flexibility, and reducing the risk of contractures and other complications associated with immobility.
[0027].Furthermore, the integration of an artificial intelligence (AI) module represents a significant leap forward in patient care technology. This AI system enables personalized sensory stimulation tailored to each patient's specific needs, utilizing data gathered from the motion sensors and other inputs to adapt the bed's features in real time. For instance, if a patient shows signs of discomfort or restlessness, the AI can automatically adjust the vibration intensity or initiate soothing sound therapy, promoting a more conducive healing environment. Additionally, the AI module facilitates remote monitoring capabilities, allowing healthcare professionals to track the patient's progress and make informed decisions regarding their care without needing to be physically present. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients in home care settings, where regular professional oversight may be limited.
[0028].The design of the remote-controlled sensory bed prioritizes the patient's physical comfort and safety. The bed frame is constructed from high-quality, durable materials that provide optimal support and cushioning, significantly reducing the risk of pressure sores-a common concern for bedridden individuals. The mattress is designed with advanced pressure-relief technology, ensuring even weight distribution and enhancing comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the bed incorporates a locking strap mechanism that securely supports specific joints during passive movement therapy, preventing injury and allowing patients to engage in exercises with confidence.
[0029].Moreover, the remote-controlled sensory bed is designed to be versatile and adaptable for various healthcare settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, physiotherapy clinics, and home care environments. Its user-friendly interface, combined with the ability to customize and automate therapy sessions, makes it accessible to a diverse range of patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
