First Claim
1. An occupant support system for use in a vehicle, the occupant support comprisinga sensor system configured to obtain occupant-body signals associated with physiological characteristics of an occupant of the occupant support system and behavioral signals associated with behavioral characteristics of the occupant, anda control system configured to receive the occupant-body signals and the behavioral signals, determine occupant health data indicative of physiological characteristics and behavioral characteristics of the occupant based on the occupant-body signals and the behavioral signals, determine occupant state data indicative of a state of the occupant based on the occupant health data, identify a first vehicle system configured to change at least one physiological characteristic or behavioral characteristic of the occupant based on at least one of the occupant health data and the occupant state data, and activate a second vehicle system based on at least one of the occupant health data, the occupant state data, and input from the occupant.
