MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061207 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 14, for 'a method for secure storage, controlled disclosure, and portable enforcement of a personal medical record.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. J. Vijayashree; Joel Devasia; and Dr. J. Jayashree.
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 method for secure storage, controlled disclosure, and portable enforcement of personal medical records. Medical data is encapsulated into a portable digital container comprising clinical information, metadata, cryptographic identifiers, provenance data, version-lineage data, and embedded machine-executable access-control policies. Integrity and authenticity of the data are ensured through cryptographic binding to issuer authentication, while each updated record generates a new verifiable version linked to prior versions. Access requests are evaluated against context parameters, and policy rules are executed within the container to selectively release, restrict, or deny data access. All access events are recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail, enabling independent verification of authenticity, lineage integrity, and policy enforcement without reliance on external access-control systems. The method supports standardized, cryptographically verifiable export of authorized data subsets."
