Specification

Description:A) TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention is generally related to the field of sleep monitoring systems. The present invention is particularly related to a system and method for sleep quality monitoring using a multi-sensor integrated mattress.

B) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Sleep plays a vital role in human health, with poor sleep quality being linked to a wide range of health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and cognitive impairment. Existing solutions for sleep monitoring, such as wearable devices and polysomnography (PSG), suffer from certain limitations. Wearable devices often cause discomfort and compliance issues during prolonged use, while PSG systems are expensive, require a clinical setup, and are impractical for continuous long-term monitoring in real-life conditions. These methods are often intrusive, expensive, and unable
to accurately reflect an individual’s habitual sleep patterns in
real-life conditions.
[0003] In addition to clinical methods, portable devices such as the
Watch PAT have been introduced for at-home sleep assessment. However,
these systems require the user to wear the device throughout the
night, which can cause discomfort and interfere with natural sleep
behavior. Further, existing solutions often lack affordability and
scalability, making them less accessible for continuous long-term
monitoring across diverse populations.
[0004] Quality sleep is closely linked to mental and physical
well-being, as disruptions in the sleep cycle can lead to conditions
such as anxiety, depression, cardiovascular issues, and metabolic
disorders. A variety of internal and external factors—including mental
health conditions, physiological changes, and environmental factors
such as temperature, humidity, noise levels, and comfort—can
significantly influence sleep quality. Existing tools to monitor these
parameters are often fragmented, complex to operate, and fail to
provide an integrated, intelligent, and cost-effective monitoring
approach.
[0005] ] Contact-free sleep monitoring technologies have emerged as a promising alternative, enabling the acquisition of physiological signals without interfering with the user’s natural sleep environment. However, many such systems face challenges in accuracy, robustness under varying sleeping conditions, and integration with user-friendly data analysis platforms.
[0006] Recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies
have opened opportunities for the development of efficient, scalable,
and low-cost systems for sleep monitoring. However, many of the
available IoT-based solutions remain prohibitively expensive, overly
complex, or limited in functionality, and do not offer advanced
analysis of sleep bio-signals with high accuracy in a contact-free and
non-intrusive manner.
[0007] Hence, there exists a need for a system and method for
sleep quality monitoring using a multi-sensor integrated mattress providing continuous, contact-free monitoring of sleep quality, that is affordable, intelligent, accurate, and capable of operating in real-life conditions without disrupting the
user’s natural sleep.
[0008] The abovementioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein, which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.

C) OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for sleep quality monitoring using a multi-sensor integrated mattress.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a system that acquires and processes physiological sleep signals with high accuracy and minimal user inconvenience.
[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to enable detection of heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, body movements, turning over, sleep posture, leaving bed events, and other physiological indicators without requiring the user to wear any sensors.
[0012] Yet another object of the present invention is to detect game elements such as the ball, players, goal lines, and court markings.
[0013] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide precise extraction of bio-signals in real-life sleeping conditions using advanced signal processing methods, including wavelet transforms, empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and dynamic smoothing.
[0014] Yet another object of the present invention is to accurately determine sleep parameters including sleep-wake cycles, REM cycles, deep and light sleep phases, sleep latency, apnea-hypopnea events, snoring, breathing disturbances, tossing and turning, sleep duration, and to compute an overall Sleep Score.
[0015] Yet another object of the present invention is to securely transmit the processed sleep data and analysis reports to a mobile application and/or cloud dashboard, while providing data privacy and integrity.
[0016] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a modular system that is scalable and compatible with both edge-based and cloud-based deployments, enabling real-time monitoring, population-scale analytics, and integration with third-party healthcare platforms.
[0017] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a system that is adaptable for both personal and clinical use, enabling long-term health monitoring and aiding in the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders.
[0018] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
