MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122411 A) filed by New Prince Shri Bhavani College Of Engineering And Technology; G. Ragul; D. Vivek; and S. Silvia Arockia Regi, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'ai enabled intelligent yoga mat for real-time posture correction and fitness enhancement.'
Inventor(s) include G. Ragul; D. Vivek; and S. Silvia Arockia Regi.
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: "A need for creative solutions that improve training quality, guarantee proper postures, and offer individualized guidance without the constant need for an instructor has arisen due to the growing popularity of holistic fitness practices like yoga. The Al-Enabled Intelligent Yoga Mat for Real-Time Posture CoiTection and Fitness Enhancement is a cutting-edge yet reasonably priced system that will help practitioners of all skill levels achieve precise postures, enhance their balance, and avoid injuries. In order to collect information on body alignment, weight distribution, and movement dynamics, the yoga mat incorporates a network of pressure sensors, flex sensors, and inertial measurement units (!MUs) that are strategically embedded. These sensors send data to a microcontroller, which preprocesses it before forwarding it to an AI system in the cloud. The system detects posture deviations in real time using machine learning algorithms that have been trained on a sizable dataset of yoga poses. The user receives remedial feedback via a mobile application that is connected to the system. This solution offers home users, fitness enthusiasts, and rehabilitation patients alike accessibility, convenience, and precise monitoring, bridging the gap between personal practice and professional-level training. The smart yoga mat not only coiTects posture but also serves as a complete fitness tracker. Users can view their pose accuracy scores, session duration, calorie expenditure, and past perfonnance trends through the user-friendly interface of the mobile application. As the user advances, the AI component continuously adjusts the difficulty of the sessions and recommends yoga poses that are best suited to each person's unique strength, flexibility, and endm'ance. The system easily connects with wearable technology, like fitness bands or smartwatches, to monitor heart rate, breathing patterns, and general activity levels for improved functionality. Effective and low-latency communication between the yoga '?at, wearable technology, and mobile applications is ensured by the integration of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The system also has cloud storage for tracking progress, which makes it possible to analyze data over time and create customized fitness reports. These characteristics enable the yoga mat to be used not only for individual well-being but also for group classes, online training courses, and physical therapy sessiOns where proper posture and steady improvement are crucial. The design of the suggested system places a strong emphasis on affordability, portability, and durability to guarantee broad accessibility without sa~,;rificiug functionality. Because the mat's surface is composed of non-slip, environmentally friendly material, users can exercise with comfort and stability. The lifespan of embedded electronics is increased by their careful encapsulation, which protects them from moisture, perspiration, and wear. Technically speaking, the system is based on a modular hardware architecture and AT models that have been optimized to enable future scalability, including integration with voice-based coaching assistants or augmented reality (AR) guidance systems. Because it offers precise, on-demand feedback at a fraction of the price of traditional training, this project not only demonstrates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (loT) in fitness technology, but it also helps democratize high-quality yoga instruction. In order to promote better health, prevent injuries, and improve the overall yoga experience, the AI-enabled intelligent yoga mat combines cutting-edge sensing technology with user-centered design, markiug a revolutionary leap in digital wellness."
