Pressure-mapping technology supplier Vista Medical, which has headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has introduced BodiTrak Smart Beds and point-of-sale systems.
The BodiTrak Smart Bed is a multichamber airbed that employs Vista Medical PatienTech patented elastic, breathable pressure sensors in the top comfort layer.
The bed’s sleep surface goes beyond pressure mapping to continually adjust pressure and comfort levels in response to a sleeper’s movements, the company said.
Vista Medical describes the beds as “changing the entire experience of sleep from a passive-response system of support and comfort to an interactive and automated response system based on proven, patented technology from the medical bedding field.”
“When the Smart Bed system senses that the sleeper is entering a sleep-disruptive breathing pattern such as snoring, it can encourage the sleeper to move into a better body position by adjusting the bed or bed frame,” said Andrew Frank, Vista Medical vice president of sales and marketing. “The system’s software can also provide information on the quality of a person’s sleep experience by recording numerous sleep-related parameters, such as respiration, body position and body movement.”
The beds debuted at the winter Las Vegas Market.
