SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING POSITION
First Claim
1. A method for assessing efficacy of position therapy using a position therapy device, the method comprising:
- providing position therapy to a user while the user is wearing a wearable position therapy device, wherein the position therapy comprises, by the wearable position therapy device,collecting positional data via a position detector of the wearable position therapy device while the user is wearing the wearable position therapy device,based on the positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period, and,when it is determined that the user is in a supine position, by a feedback generator of the wearable position therapy device, providing feedback to influence the user to change to a non-supine position, andproviding an assessment of the efficacy of the position therapy, based on a measure of time spent in the supine and non-supine positions and at least one additional measure.

Abstract
Systems and methods for assessing compliance with position therapy. In an embodiment, position therapy is provided to a user while the user is wearing a position therapy device. The position therapy comprises, by the device, collecting positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period based on the positional data, and, when it is determined that the user is in a target position, providing feedback to the user to influence the user to change to a non-target position. In addition, the device stores a duration of use in its memory. The duration of use indicates a duration that the user has used the wearable position therapy device in each of one or more positions. An assessment of the user'"'"'s compliance with the position therapy is then provided based, at least in part, on the duration of use.

30. A method for providing position therapy using a position therapy device, the method comprising:
providing position therapy to a user while the user is wearing a wearable position therapy device, wherein the position therapy comprises, by the wearable position therapy device, collecting positional data via a position detector of the wearable position therapy device while the user is wearing the wearable position therapy device, based on the positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period, and, when it is determined that the user is in a supine position, adaptively delivering feedback by increasing a number of feedback generators used until the user changes to a non-supine position, wherein the feedback generators comprise a plurality of haptic motors. - View Dependent Claims (31)

32. A system comprising:
-
a wearable position therapy device comprising a position detector and a feedback generator, wherein the wearable position therapy device provides position therapy to a user, while the user is wearing the wearable position therapy device, by collecting positional data via the position detector while the user is wearing the wearable position therapy device, based on the positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period, and, when it is determined that the user is in a supine position, by the feedback generator, providing feedback to influence the user to change to a non-supine position; and one or more software modules that, when executed by a processor, provide an assessment of the efficacy of the position therapy, based on a measure of time spent in the supine and non-supine positions and at least one additional measure. - View Dependent Claims (33)
