MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611050678 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on April 21, for 'a method, smart ophthalmic wearable device and system for predictive iop monitoring and adaptive multi-reservoir drug delivery in glaucoma.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Manish Pathak.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart ophthalmic wearable device (100) for diagnosis and management of glaucoma. The device is implemented as a biocompatible contact lens integrated with miniaturized pressure sensing elements configured to continuously monitor intraocular pressure (IOP). A predictive analytics unit processes sensed data to determine pressure trends, rate-of-change, and deviation from a patient-specific baseline, thereby enabling early prediction of abnormal IOP conditions. The device further comprises a therapeutic delivery module including multiple drug reservoirs and a microfluidic network configured for adaptive, staged release of anti-glaucoma medication. A safety control module regulates drug delivery using dose-lockout and feedback-based mechanisms. The system operates in a closed-loop manner to provide automated, personalized therapy. A wireless communication module enables real-time data transmission for remote monitoring and clinical intervention. The invention improves early detection, treatment adherence, and therapeutic efficacy in glaucoma management."
