Regarding claim 13, Devroey in view of Monge Nunez teaches all the limitations of claim 11, but does not teach the biometric information comprising aggregated prepartum data.
However, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to configure the one or more settings of the device to be able to summarize or average the prepartum data of multiple mothers, as the device comprises of sensors to monitor the biometric information of more than one mother.

Regarding claim 16, Devroey teaches a method for transitioning an infant after birth using a simulated intrauterine environment (incubator shown in Fig. 1), the method comprising:
Providing a simulated intrauterine environment by simulating a heartbeat using a transducer coupled to a platform configured to support an infant ("control unit will contain separate sound tracks for heartbeat, respiration, mother's voice, bowel", paragraph [0034]; speakers 48 coupled to platform in Fig. 3A)
Simulating a walking gait by moving the platform using a mechanical actuator ("pillow 46 to simulate gait", paragraph [0060]; pillows 44, 46 shown in Fig. 3A)

Claim 8 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being obvious over Devroey in view of Monge Nunez and further in view of Gatts et al. (US 5183457 A) (hereon referred as Gatts).
Regarding claim 8, Devroey in view of Monge Nunez teaches the mechanical actuator comprising a linear-motion actuator ("the air/vacuum source is controlled directly by the control unit to send air (in the direction of the arrows shown), or pull a vacuum (in the direction of the arrows shown) to or from the gait or body motion bladders or pillows 44 and the respiration bladders or pillow 46 to simulate gait or respiration motions", paragraph [0060]; Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B).
Devroey in view of Monge Nunez does not teach the mechanical actuator comprising a rotational-motion actuator.
However, Gatts teaches the mechanical actuator of a bed for an infant with a platform (shown in Fig. 2) that comprises a linear-motion actuator and rotational motion actuator ("linear and rotational motions using separate linear activators or motors", Col. 5, lines 34-38).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to combine the baby bed of Devroey in view of Monge Nunez with the motion actuators of Gatts in order to provide various tactile stimulation to the infant in order to accurately simulate the intrauterine environment of the mother.
Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments, filed 23 April 2026, with respect to the claim objections have been fully considered and are persuasive. The claim objections have been withdrawn.
Applicant’s arguments with respect to claims 11, 12, and 16-18 have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on any reference applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument. The rejection of claims 11, 12, and 16-18 under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) have been updated accordingly.
Applicant’s arguments, filed 23 April 2026, with respect to 35 U.S.C. 103 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive.
In regards to claim 1, the Applicant states that Devroey in view of Monge Nunez does not teach applying machine learning to a mother’s biometric information or using machine learning to determine settings for a simulated intrauterine environment based on biometric information. However, the Examiner respectfully disagrees. Devroey does teach using a mother’s biometric information to simulate an intrauterine environment (“recorder to be carried by the mother during the twenty four hour recording period recording movements, sounds, inclusive heart beat…environment”, paragraph [0034], “mimic the intrauterine conditions", paragraph [0032], Devroey). By combining Devroey with the machine learning algorithm that provides stimulation for the infant of Monge Nunez ("controlling a mobile having mobile elements controllable by a mobile stimulation pattern…stimulation pattern using a machine learning algorithm", paragraph [0004], Monge Nunez), it would yield a system that is capable of carrying out the process of the claimed invention, which is using biometric information of a mother and/or using machine learning to determine the settings of the intrauterine environment based on the biometric information.
In response to applicant's argument that the examiner's conclusion of obviousness is based upon improper hindsight reasoning, it must be recognized that any judgment on obviousness is in a sense necessarily a reconstruction based upon hindsight reasoning. But so long as it takes into account only knowledge which was within the level of ordinary skill at the time the claimed invention was made, and does not include knowledge gleaned only from the applicant's disclosure, such a reconstruction is proper. See In re McLaughlin, 443 F.2d 1392, 170 USPQ 209 (CCPA 1971). Furthermore, it is not impermissible hindsight, as the combined references does teach using a mother’s biometric information and/or machine learning in order to determine further settings to simulate/mimic an intrauterine environment for the mother’s infant, as explained above.
Conclusion
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
