Embodiment Construction

[0083] figure 1 A system 1 is schematically illustrated comprising a head support 2 , such as a pillow, and a cushion 3 as a resting surface, such as a mattress corresponding to a bed of the resting surface. System 1 is for individuals to rest on.

[0084] The pad 3 has a transverse direction H and a longitudinal direction L such that an individual lies on it with its longitudinal body axis along the longitudinal direction L of the pad 3 . In general, the head support 2 can be freely positioned on the pad 3, but it is preferred to arrange the head support 2 at or near one end of the pad 3 with respect to the longitudinal direction L, similar to how a pillow is usually placed on a bed . The longitudinal direction L and the transverse direction H of the head support 2 thus substantially correspond to the longitudinal direction L and the transverse direction H of the pad 3 .

[0085] like figure 2 Shown in more detail in , an airway obstruction relief system 1 is shown schemat...

Abstract

The invention relates to a head support for stopping airway disorders and an airways disorder alleviating system for stopping an ongoing and / or upcoming airways disorder of a sleeping individual. The system includes a resting surface on which the individual at least partly is to rest, a head support with an active layer configured to selectively adapt the height of the head support section-by-section, at least one spatial sensor with at least one detector in or on at least one of the resting surface and the head support for contactlessly detecting at least one of a position of a body part and a biomotion of a body part in a sensing range, and a control unit configured to actuate the active layer for selectively adapting the height of the head support depending on the at least one the detected position and the detected biomotion so that the head of the individual is moved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to head supports, and more particularly to head supports, especially pillows, for preventing airway obstruction. Furthermore, the invention relates to detection of airway disturbances during sleep and measures for suppressing and / or preventing irregular breathing events. In particular, the invention relates to measures for detecting the breathing activity of an individual resting on a head support. Furthermore, the invention relates to detecting the position of the head on the head support. Background technique [0002] A head support for preventing snoring of a sleeping individual is known from document US 2014 / 0310878, wherein the head support has a head resting surface on which the head of the sleeping individual rests. The head support has an active layer with a structure of adjacent deformation elements for controlling the height of the head support section by section. In order to detect the position of the head re...
