MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511122286 A) filed by K. R. Mangalam University, Gurugram, Haryana, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'ai-integrated handheld device for early oral cancer screening via thermal and spectral analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Narender Yadav; Dr. Pawan Kumar; and Dr. Rajni Gautam.
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 invention relates to a handheld, non-invasive diagnostic device for early oral cancer screening using integrated thermal imaging and spectral mapping. The device incorporates a thermal sensor, multispectral or hyperspectral imaging module, embedded illumination system, and an AI-enabled processor for real-time detection of dysplastic changes in the oral cavity. A hybrid thermal-spectral algorithm analyzes temperature anomalies and spectral deviations to identify early abnormal tissue behavior. The capability of Artificial Intelligence right on the device allows the device to work offline, thus making it ideal for remote and under-resourced situations. It determines risk stratification based on a mixture of clinical and patient details. This innovation functions as a low-cost, low-weight, and more accurate device for notifying individuals early of the occurrence of oral cancer."
