AI-Enabled Smart Mattress Monitors Users’ Health

DeRucci’s smart mattress features 23 sensors to monitor a user’s biometrics and alert them of any potential health issues
Sleep technology company DeRucci has launched a smart mattress, using AI sensors to track a user’s biometrics, adjust to provide optimal sleep and alert users of any potential health issues.

The mattress includes 18 airbags that inflate or deflate to support a user as they move throughout the night, in addition to a variety of 23 AI sensors that monitor changes in a sleeper’s position, body temperature, and heart rate.

By modifying the user’s elevation, the mattress may even monitor and lessen snoring. Additionally, it can be linked to other smart home appliances, such the air conditioner or thermostat, to regulate controlling the bedroom’s conditions to facilitate optimal sleep.

If abnormalities are found in the user’s sleep pattern or activities, the mattress can even alert them to possible health risks using the data gathered from the sensor array. DeRucci claims that in order to deliver health insights, its smart mattress uses big data derived from 1.08 billion pieces of sleep data combined with a person’s profile.

Users can also access a customized AI sleep advisor; the chatbot uses extensive language models to ask questions about sleep to each user and create a unique profile.

According to DeRucci, its design is the first of its type and can track physiological markers like heart rate and respiration with an accuracy of 93.4% and calculate sleep stages with a rate of accuracy of 93.4% when compared to PSG (Polysomnography) sleep studies rate of 95%.

“The DeRucci … algorithm simultaneously adapts and customizes to each user’s various individual sleeping positions and makes real-time adjustments to perfectly match height, shape, and body areas,” according to a company statement. “DeRUCCI’s AI algorithm enables the mattress to adapt to pressure curves during sleep for a more than 40% improvement in spinal health.

“[It] the first smart mattress that instantly adjusts to the individual’s health for optimal sleep; actually warning the user about potential health issues before they are aware of them.”

The mattress is currently available in China and is set to come to U.S. markets in the first quarter of 2024.
