Sleep Review, a leading trade publication covering sleep medicine and technology, reported on The DeRUCCI Group's two CES 2024 Innovation Awards in the Smart Home and Digital Health categories for the AI series T11 Pro Smart Mattress, developed with sleep and health research support from international universities and institutions. The article frames the mattress as instantly adjusting to the individual's health for optimal sleep and warning users about potential health issues before they'd otherwise notice symptoms.
Hua Lei, General Manager of Smart Sleep at DeRUCCI, is referenced discussing the company's early introduction of a "Healthy Sleep, Customized for You" concept, which emphasises personalised sleep products based on a user's height, weight, body shape, and typical sleeping positions — developed using DeRUCCI's own proprietary AI algorithms and technologies underpinning the T11 Pro system.
The article credits the CES award specifically to the mattress's design and ergonomics, detailing its 23 sleep and health AI sensors that automatically track subtle changes in position, body temperature, heart rate, and overall health, alongside 18 flexible air support units that instantly respond to the sleeper's position and movement. It also covers the mattress's connectivity with other IoT home appliances, including thermostats, air conditioners, aromatherapy diffusers, air purifiers, and sleep-enhancing lighting.
Sleep Review goes into more technical depth on the patented DeRUCCI Tidal algorithm than most consumer coverage, explaining that it simultaneously adapts and customises to each user's individual sleeping position, making real-time adjustments matched to height, shape, and specific body areas — shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs. The publication notes that DeRUCCI's algorithm draws on the company's research into ergonomics, AI, and big data, analysing factors such as BMI, sleeping position, pressure distribution, height, and firmness to adapt to pressure curves during sleep for improved spinal health.
