Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this feasibility study is to test the Korus smart mattress in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can Korus accurately detect body position in bed (left, right, supine, prone) * Can Korus reposition the subject from a prone to recovery (sideways) position? Participants will be asked to lie down on Korus and turn into various positions; when the prone position is detected, they will be repositioned.
