Korus™ by Soterya · Boston, MA
The world's first autonomous repositioning bed, a Physical-AI platform that senses the body, decides, and repositions on its own, when no caregiver can.
The Platform
Korus is a single AI-native hardware platform across the care continuum, from independent living at home, to long-term care institutions, to the hospital, with a consumer wellness line to follow.
Choose your setting: care that scales with need.
Low-acuity care

Why Now
Repositioning a person in bed is still a manual job, done by a caregiver, a nurse, or a family member, around the clock. Aging populations and a structural nursing shortage mean that help is increasingly not there. The result is injury, decline, and burnout. And for families of children prone to SUDEP, it means no one sleeps alone. Parents share the bed or the room every night, watching for a seizure they can't predict. Korus closes the gap, from everyday comfort to autonomous care that acts when no caregiver can.

The Technology
A closed-loop, embodied-AI system: multimodal sensing → on-device decision engine → precision actuation. It perceives the body's position and state, decides, and acts in real time, all on-device, for privacy and instant response. This is the sense-plan-act loop that defines Physical AI.
Sensing
Embedded pressure and motion sensors map body position across 64 zones in real time.
Intelligence
Edge-based ML models process data locally, with no cloud dependency and full privacy.
Actuation
Pneumatic actuators deliver smooth, whisper-quiet repositioning across all body segments.
Monitoring
Continuous tracking of position history and repositioning events.
Connectivity
iOS and Android app with real-time controls, alerts, and care-team integration.
Safety
Force limits, motion watchdogs, and fail-safe defaults ensure safe operation at all times.
Research Areas
Korus targets a spectrum of conditions, from everyday comfort to life-critical intervention, all linked by a single underlying problem: position matters during sleep, and no one has been able to act on it automatically. Until now.
Mobility · Home & Institutional
For people who struggle to reposition themselves, Korus provides supported, gentle movement and edge-of-bed detection to prevent falls and enable safer exits.
Neurology · High-acuity
86% of SUDEP deaths occur face-down and unwitnessed. Korus detects dangerous positions during seizures and autonomously repositions, acting when no caregiver can.
Wound Care · Institutional
Pressure injuries cost the US $26.8B annually. Korus eliminates the missed 2-hour turn, automatically repositioning to relieve pressure before tissue damage occurs.
Wellness · Consumer
Most snoring is positional. Korus detects snoring events and shifts the sleeper's position automatically, reducing frequency without waking the user.
Musculoskeletal · Consumer
Sustained sleep posture is a leading driver of morning back pain. Korus maintains optimal spinal alignment through the night, adapting as the body moves.
Respiratory · Consumer & Clinical
Positional sleep apnea affects millions. Korus can keep sleepers off their back, the position that worsens obstruction, reducing apnea events without a mask or device.
