MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124559 A) filed by Jerusalem Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'an integrated wearable device for real time pregnancy fall detection and amniotic rupture detection.'

Inventor(s) include D. Parameswari; S. Vinitha; S. Hakkia; A. Parameshwari; E. Brindha; Johnson M; Palkis Beevi J; and Samual Ashwin Raj M.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Pregnancy is a sensitive and critical phase in a woman's life that requires continuous monitoring and timely medical attention to ensure maternal and fetal safety. Due to physiological and anatomical changes, pregnant women are more susceptible to balance instability and amiotic fluid complications, both of which can pose serious risks. The project titled "An Integrated Wearable Device for Real-Time Pregnancy Fall Detection and Amniotic Fluid Rupture Monitoring" focuses on developing a compact, low-cost, and intelligent wearable system that can detect both accidental falls and amniotic fluid leakage in real time. The proposed device integrates a Seed Studio XIAO nRF52840 microcontroller with an MPU6050 inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor to monitor body movement and identify sudden acceleration changes that indicate a fall. Simultaneously, a moisture sensor module is used to detect amniotic fluid rupture, allowing early intervention."
