According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a semi-automated method (100) for integrated risk stratification of vitamin D deficiency in a subject. The method (100) comprises receiving, at a data input step (102), input parameters including serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, occupational exposure, sun exposure characteristics, functional health indicators, and psychological parameters. The method further includes classifying, at a parameter classification step (104), the input data into predefined categories and assigning standardized numerical scores at a scoring step (106). The assigned scores are aggregated at a composite score calculation step (108) to generate a composite risk score. The composite score is mapped at a risk stratification step (110) into predefined categories including low, moderate, and high risk. Based on the stratification, decision-support recommendations are generated at a step (112). The method (100) is adaptable for manual, semi-automated, or computerized implementation, enabling scalable and reproducible risk assessment."
