MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641041549 A) filed by Sampara Vasishta; Usha Adiga; and Sachidananda Adiga, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, on April 1, for 'adaptive digital laboratory for mbbs biochemistry using longitudinal error analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Sampara Vasishta; Usha Adiga; and Sachidananda Adiga.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A computer-implemented adaptive digital practical laboratory system for first-year MBBS biochemistry under the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) framework is disclosed. Existing digital practical tools present identical question sequences, hint levels and answer-option sets to every student regardless of performance history. The present invention overcomes this by collecting per-step attempt data longitudinally and applying: exponential recency-weighted mastery scoring; subject-level trajectory classification; rule-based error-type identification as careless, conceptual or knowledge-gap; a 21-day forgetting threshold detector; and engagement quality analysis. These drive adaptive test reordering, per-test hint suppression, personalised distractor injection, cross-compound confusion testing and progressive format escalation from multiple-choice to free-text entry. A teacher analytics module provides class-wide error heatmaps, inactive student detection, forgetting alerts and peer percentiles. Measurable technical effects are produced through fully deterministic, rule-based algorithms without novel hardware."
