Abstract
A sleep system including an analysis unit configured to be in data communication with a plurality of sensors, the sensors being selected from one or more sound sensors, biological sensors, environmental sensors, motion sensors, or a combination thereof.
Claims20
An infant analysis system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors positioned relative to a sleep device to collect data with respect to an infant when positioned within the sleep device, wherein the plurality of sensors include a sound sensor to collect sound data, a weight sensor to collect weight data with respect to the infant when positioned within the sleep device, and a motion sensor;
- and
- an analysis unit configured to perform cry analyses that analyze the data collected by the plurality of sensors to identify cry behavior states and generate predictive response instructions that control stimulus outputs by the sleep device or a peripheral device to soothe and transition the infant from the cry behavior states, wherein, with respect to the cry analyzes, the analysis unit is configured to:
- analyze the collected sound data corresponding to cries together with the weight data including comparison of weight collected over time to a current weight,
- generate predictive response instructions to cause one or both of the sleep device or peripheral device to output stimuli, the output stimuli comprising initiation or modification of one or more of:
- temperature control modulated by a temperature control device, motion of a platform of the sleep device modulated by a motor, sound output from a speaker, or lighting modulated by lights,
- compare changes to cry behavior state characteristics of respective cry behavior state determinations following execution of predictive response instructions, and
- output a notification to a user interface that the infant is hungry when a cry state analysis informed by the comparison of changes to cry behavior state characteristics following previous cry behavior state determinations indicates the infant is in a hungry cry behavior state indicative of a cry behavior state that will not be soothed by the output stimuli.
