Sonic Bath / Assisted-Care System

A supported hygiene system for elderly and mobility-limited users using transfer assistance, reclining permeable mesh support, low-water cleaning, external caregiver controls and controlled drying.

STB Product Directions

Assisted-care configurations stay separate from the overview

The overview now stays clean and product-focused. Detailed support studies, caregiver workflow, transfer concepts and future CAD views live on the daughter pages where they can be shown large enough to read. The assisted-care seating concept uses a permeable mesh support so cleaning mist, airflow and validated acoustic treatment can reach the back and posterior body surfaces instead of being blocked by solid upholstery.

Operating Experience

Selectable modes

Assisted Warm

Body-neutral/warm comfort with caregiver supervision.

Gentle Clean

Reduced acoustic and airflow limits.

Caregiver Assist

External control authority and extended transition times.

Low Stimulation

Reduced noise, light and cycle intensity.

Quick Refresh

Short hygiene-support cycle.

Adaptive

User profile + sensor-bounded control.

Control Interface

Ten control / status functions to define

The final interface may use physical buttons, sealed switches, touch controls, indicators or a combination. The website shows functions, not a frozen hardware layout.

Public-Safe Architecture

How the system works without exposing proprietary geometry

Open How-It-Works
Transfer

Deploy ramp/bridge or assisted transfer interface.

Support

Position user on reclining/open support structure.

Clean

Deliver controlled mist and bounded acoustic hygiene.

Recover

Extract moisture and contamination to capture path.

Exit

Dry, return support to transfer position and release safely.

Safety Architecture

Interlocks, warnings and safe-state behavior

Assisted-care priority

Mechanical support and emergency exit remain independent of acoustic operation.

No unsupervised vulnerable-user mode

Final product must define supervision requirements through human-factors validation.

No animal use

Not a veterinary or pet-cleaning unit.

Service mode empty-only

Calibration/engineering modes are occupancy-inhibited.

Transfer interlock

Acoustic cycle cannot start until support and transfer hardware report safe position.

Thermal protection

Conservative temperature limits and multiple independent sensors.

Pressure / motion detection

Unexpected movement triggers pause or safe shutdown.

Door / caregiver override

External caregiver controls can stop the cycle immediately.

Electrical / moisture isolation

Wet-zone electrical isolation and leak detection are mandatory design requirements.
