The methods, systems and devices provided herein relate to sleep-aid. Some embodiments include a vibration source and/or a sound source. In some embodiments, the vibration source and/or sound source emit vibrations and/or sounds that stimulate a subject's vagus nerve, or another nerve, to induce sleep or relaxation in the subject.

A motion sickness control system for a vehicle includes a vibrator. The motion sickness control system includes a sensor configured to measure vibration of the vehicle. The motion sickness control system includes a computer having a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to actuate the vibrator at a target frequency based on the measured vibration of the vehicle. The target frequency attenuates the measured vibration of the vehicle.

A bed shaped device or structure provides sensory enhancement for the comfort of the infant, baby, toddler, or child. The invention replicates the physical, physiology, and sensation of the mother to the child during the pregnancy period. The structure of the present invention facilitates transfer of the nurturing, characteristics of the mother through dynamics, temperature, graphical imagery, sound, scent, and nourishment to the infant, baby, toddler, or child whereby each senses the replicated comfort, attachment, and/or bonding the mother, as in the womb.

A method of regulating stress in an individual engaged in one or more active behaviors includes providing the individual with remote-controllable handholdable devices having first and second tactile stimulators configured to receive wireless instructions from a controller and a securing band that can selectively hold the devices, having the individual hold or place the devices bilaterally in therapeutic contact with parts of the individual's body, having the individual activate the tactile stimulators through changing settings on the mobile digital device application, and having the individual determine the most effective amount of stimulation speed and intensity to control the individual's stress, wherein the individual self-adjusts the speed and intensity of the tactile stimulators by changing the settings of the mobile digital device application and wherein tactile stimulation is the only stimulation applied to the individual by the operation of the first and second remote-controllable handholdable devices.

A system to manage the sleep and/or the well-being of a passenger/user of an aircraft includes a chair to be installed in a cabin of the aircraft and interaction devices to interact with the user. The system further includes a user terminal configured to receive data relating to characteristics of a user profile of the user, and a control/command module connected to the user terminal, interaction devices and a database storing information relating to characteristics of a flight of the aircraft. The command/control module being configured to pilot the interaction devices according to the data relating to characteristics of the user profile and characteristics of the flight of the aircraft.

The invention described herein provides for a portable autonomic nerve system stimulation device that may operate as an “open-loop” or “closed-loop” stimulation system and includes in some embodiments a paired therapy for a disease or condition. Embodiments of the inventive device include at least one stimulation circuit for the generation and delivery of a stimulation, at least one biological signal monitoring apparatus for monitoring a biological state of a user wearing the device, at least one controller in electrical communication with the stimulation circuit and at least one power supply for providing power to the controller and stimulation circuit. Aspects of the invention provides for a portable autonomic nerve system stimulation device which may be worn in the ear, or about the head, of a subject, patient or user.

There is provided herein a stress reducing and/or mindfulness inducing apparatus including: a substantially spherically shaped body “huggable” by two hands of a user; at least a first and a second pair of indentations located on an outer surface of said body, wherein each of the first and the second pair of indentations is suitable for placing corresponding index, middle and ring fingers from each hand of the user, wherein each of the first and the second pair of indentations comprises one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to sense one or more parameters associated with the user's stress and/or mindfulness state, wherein the sensors are the same or different from each other; and an indicator having at least two modes of operation, the indicator is configured to provide the user with an indication regarding his/her stress and/or mindfulness state.

A method includes projecting a dark virtual sky in a digital space. The dark virtual sky is transitioned to a dawn virtual sky. The dawn virtual sky is altered to introduce a daytime virtual sky. The daytime virtual sky is modified to produce a dusk virtual sky. These operations are performed via color palette transitions in the virtual sky in a time period of less than six minutes. A collection of gaze points in the digital space includes an apex gaze point, a left descendent gaze point and a right descendent gaze point. The apex gaze point maintains a constant size, the left descendent gaze point has a first oscillation sequence that fluctuates between a minimum size, a medium size and a maximum size. The right descendent gaze point has a second oscillation sequence that fluctuates between a maximum size, a medium size and a minimum size during the time period of less than six minutes.

A method includes initiating an accelerated daily light and darkness cycle experience at a first color palette position within the accelerated daily light and darkness cycle that corresponds to a current time at a destination geographic location that a user will travel to. The accelerated daily light and darkness cycle experience is executed at a second color palette position within the accelerated daily light and darkness cycle that corresponds to the current time at the destination geographic location of the user. The accelerated daily light and darkness cycle is less than six minutes and includes projecting a dark virtual sky in a digital space, transitioning the dark virtual sky to a dawn virtual sky in the digital space, altering the dawn virtual sky to introduce a daytime virtual sky in the digital space and modifying the daytime virtual sky to produce a dusk virtual sky in the digital space.

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that detects medical conditions within patients and dynamically effectuates a treatment via augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) capabilities of a device and/or associated application. The disclosed framework is configured for controlling computerized medical equipment by analyzing data associated with a patient, determining underlying conditions of the patient, then automatically causing such equipment to output electronic AR/VR stimuli that can address the medical condition(s) detected. The framework can determine a correlation between a patient's attributes, electronic data of a condition of a patient and a medical disorder, and cause a medical device to address the condition and disorder. The framework can be configured to focus in on particular body parts of a patient that have been identified as a body part that enables treatment as well as a part that facilitates the most efficient treatment for a recovery.
