Inventor(s) include Dr Neeraj Kumari; Dr. Saroj Yadav; Dr. Sucheta; and Ms. Barnali Bhattacharjee.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-enabled sleep disorder diagnostic pillow equipped with textile-integrated thin-film multi-modal sensors for non-invasive detection of sleep apnea, bruxism, and abnormal sleep patterns. The pillow incorporates pressure, vibration, accelerometer, and muscle-tone sensing elements embedded within the fabric to capture respiration cycles, head and jaw micro-movements, and bruxism-related vibrations. Collected signals are processed using embedded or external AI algorithms to classify sleep events and generate real-time and long-term personalized sleep analytics. The invention eliminates the need for wearable devices, offering a comfortable, accurate, and continuous home-based diagnostic solution for sleep-health monitoring."
