MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042162 A) filed by Kavin Nilavan A R; Hari Venkat K; and S. Saranya, Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, on April 2, for 'ai-enabled smart helmet for industrial worker safety.'
Inventor(s) include Kavin Nilavan A R; and Hari Venkat K.
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: "Industrial workplaces such as construction sites, mining zones, and manufacturing plants pose significant risks to worker safety due to hazardous environments and human error. This paper presents the design and implementation of an AI-enabled smart helmet aimed at enhancing real-55 time safety monitoring and accident prevention. The proposed system integrates multiple sensors, including gas sensors, temperature sensors, and motion detection units, with a microcontroller-based architecture to continuously monitor environmental and physiological conditions of workers. The helmet utilizes Artificial Intelligence algorithms to analyse 60 sensor data and detect potential hazards such as toxic gas leaks, abnormal temperature levels, and worker fatigue or sudden falls. In critical situations, the system triggers immediate alerts through buzzers and visual indicators while simultaneously sending real-time notifications to a centralized monitoring system via IoT connectivity. This ensures rapid response and 65 preventive action, reducing the likelihood of severe accidents."
