Thermal discomfort during sleep is increasingly recognized as a significant factor affecting human health, sleep quality and overall well-being as fluctuating indoor temperatures, climate change and individual physiological differences often disrupt the body’s natural thermoregulation process, resulting in poor rest, muscle stiffness, fatigue and reduced daily productivity. Conventional blankets provide only passive insulation and are unable to adapt to dynamic changes in body or environmental temperature, causing many individuals to rely heavily on energy-intensive air-conditioning or heating systems that increase electricity consumption and environmental impact. To address this limitation, the ThermoCare Blanket is proposed as an AI-powered smart blanket designed to automatically regulate temperature based on real-time body and ambient conditions with the primary objectives of enhancing sleep quality, improving physical recovery and promoting energy-efficient personal thermoregulation. The blanket incorporates hypoallergenic fabric, embedded temperature sensors, a microcontroller-based intelligent control module, a regulated heating layer and safety mechanisms such as low-voltage operation and automatic cut-off protection to ensure safe and reliable usage. During operation, sensors continuously monitor temperature data which are analysed by the AI system to dynamically adjust heat distribution, thereby maintaining consistent and personalized thermal comfort throughout the sleep cycle. The novelty of this innovation lies in its integration of smart textile technology, artificial intelligence and localized heating control which differentiates it from conventional bedding products that rely on manual settings or fixed insulation. The solution is applicable to a wide range of users including elderly individuals, pregnant and postpartum women, patients in recovery, healthcare facilities and technology-oriented households seeking improved comfort and health support. From a commercial perspective, the growing demand for smart home healthcare devices highlights strong marketability and scalability while its modular design, safety features and energy-efficient performance provide competitive advantages for mass adoption. Overall, the ThermoCare Blanket offers meaningful health, social and environmental benefits and demonstrates significant innovation impact and strong commercialization potential for sustainable long-term use.
