MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007483 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 26, for 'a wearable dermatological monitoring system for early detection of pediatric skin conditions.'
Inventor(s) include Gurpreet Singh; Nishita Sanjeev; and Dr. Sumit Kumar Jindal.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A wearable dermatological monitoring system (100) for early detection of pediatric skin conditions is disclosed. The system comprises a skin-contact electrode arrangement configured to apply a low-frequency electrical excitation signal to a localized skin region, and an analog conditioning arrangement configured to process a return signal indicative of skin impedance. A processing unit computes a hydration percentage representative of stratum-corneum condition based on the conditioned signal. The system further includes a temperature-sensing arrangement for detecting localized surface-temperature variations and an inertial sensing arrangement for detecting repetitive scratch-motion patterns (900). The processing unit evaluates hydration, temperature, and scratch data in combination to classify a dermatological condition state and provides real-time on-device feedback through an output arrangement comprising a display and an alert device. The system operates autonomously without reliance on external computing devices or network connectivity, enabling continuous and child-friendly dermatological monitoring."
