MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511132515 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 27, 2025, for 'ai-based shear wave elasticity profiling for non-invasive bilirubin measurement and jaundice detection.'
Inventor(s) include Ujjwal Mishra; Raj Singh; Purvansh Kaistha; and Mr. Aaskaran Bishnoi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a non-invasive system and method for quantitative bilirubin estimation and jaundice detection using Shear Wave Elasticity Profiling (SWEP) integrated with artificial intelligence-based distortion analysis. The system generates controlled shear waves within superficial tissues such as skin or sclera and captures their spatio-temporal propagation using a high-frame-rate detection unit. A signal processing engine extracts bilirubin-specific mechanical biomarkers, including shear wave velocity, attenuation, dispersion, phase characteristics, and harmonic distortion. These features are normalized and processed by an AI model trained exclusively on paired shear-wave and serum bilirubin datasets to produce a real-time bilirubin concentration and jaundice severity classification. Unlike optical or invasive methods, the system operates independently of skin pigmentation, ambient lighting, or blood sampling. The invention provides a portable, rapid, and clinically reliable diagnostic platform suitable for neonatal screening, rural healthcare, and point-of-care monitoring of bilirubin dynamics."
