MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044105 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'a multisensory therapy bed with airflow, audio, visual, tactile, and memory cues for bedridden patients.'
Inventor(s) include Janani A; Dr. Vanitha Jayaraj; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a multisensory therapy bed specifically designed for patients who are bed-returned or immobilized for prolonged periods, often associated with fluid retention, reduced mobility, and sensory deprivation. The therapy bed incorporates an integrated system of airflow regulation, adaptive audio stimulation, visual feedback, tactile inputs, and memory-based sensory cues to enhance neuromuscular activation and functional recovery. The bed structure allows controlled elevation of the head and lower extremities, facilitating improved venous and lymphatic drainage, reduction of dependent edema, and enhanced postural alignment. Multisensory stimulation is synchronized with positional changes to activate sensory-motor pathways, cognitive engagement, and proprioceptive feedback, thereby encouraging voluntary movement initiation. This system aims to improve movement efficiency, circulation, cognitive responsiveness, and psychological well-being, making it particularly beneficial for patients transitioning from prolonged bed rest to active rehabilitation. Patients with prolonged immobility often experience reduced responsiveness to movement cues, leading to delayed rehabilitation outcomes. There is a growing need for a therapeutic bed system that not only supports positioning but also actively participates in sensoiy stimulation and motor facilitation."
