A sleep assist system to monitor and assist the user's sleep, comprising a bedside device positioned near the user's bed, the bedside device comprising a loudspeaker and a light source and optionally a microphone, a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a control unit, an air quality sensor, a display unit, a user interface. The sleep assist system further comprises a first sensing unit positioned in the user's bed and comprising one or more sensors adapted to sense at least pressure and/or changes in pressure exerted by the user lying in the bed. The system monitors the user's sleep, assesses the user's sleep cycles and the phase of sleep cycle, and provides the user with at least one light and sound program, the light and sound program being based on the assessment of the user's sleep cycles and the phase of sleep cycle.

System and method to monitor and assist individual's sleep

A sleep assist system to monitor and assist the user's sleep, comprising: a bedside device adapted to be positioned near the user's bed, the bedside device optionally comprising a loudspeaker, a light source, a microphone, a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a control unit, an air quality sensor, a display unit, a user interface. The system further comprises a first sensing unit positioned in the user's bed comprising one or more sensors adapted to sense at least pressure and changes in pressure exerted by the user lying in the bed; an additional sensor device to be in contact with the user's body, and to be coupled to the bedside device; the system is configured to correlate the data obtained from both the first sensing unit and the additional sensor device.

A method for determining a fertility period for a female human individual (FU), carried out in a device comprising a controller, a non-invasive heart sensor placed in contact or opposite to a portion of the skin of the individual, during the sleep of the individual, the heart sensor being configured to sense heart pulses of the individual and the controller being configured to determine the heart rate, the method comprising the following steps: /a/ collecting, at the sensor, heart pulses signals of the individual; /b/ extracting therefrom, at the controller, current heart rate during a night; /c/ calculating a minimal sleep heart rate denoted MSHR(i), over the night; /d/ comparing MSHR(i) with values of MSHR(k) recorded previously, and/or comparing MSHR(i) with a long term average of the minimal sleep heart rate values denoted LTHR; /e/ deducing therefrom a current ovulation probability index, according to a predefined criteria; /f/ if the ovulation probability index is higher than a predefined threshold denoted PTH, notify the individual with a fertility time window.
