Korus: a Device to Prevent Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) — Korus  

Epilepsy Clinical Trial

Official title: Korus: Smart Mattress to Prevent Night-time Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this feasibility study is to test the Korus smart mattress in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Can Korus accurately detect body position in bed (left, right, supine, prone)

• Can Korus reposition the subject from a prone to recovery (sideways) position? Participants will be asked to lie down on Korus and turn into various positions; when the prone position is detected, they will be repositioned.

Clinical Trial Description

Korus is a a smart mattress consisting entirely of pneumatically inflatable smartcells with embedded sensors. It is designed to detect a subject's body position an inflate the proper smartcells to reposition a subject from the prone to the recovery (sideways) position. Healthy control subjects will be recruited to test Korus' sensing system and its performance in repositioning the subject. Korus will utilize specialized sensors and a computer learning algorithm to detect the subject's body position. Based on this data, Korus will activate the appropriate smart cells to reposition the subject. ;
