The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure discloses an augmented reality-based system for guiding physical therapy exercises with real-time feedback. A camera-equipped device captures patient body movements, which are processed by pose detection algorithms to extract skeletal data and joint postures. These movements are compared against reference exercise models stored in a database, and deviations are corrected using visual overlays, audio prompts, or textual cues displayed through the AR interface. The system overlays animated avatars and interactive guides to demonstrate correct exercise performance and records patient metrics such as accuracy and repetitions. Data is securely stored for remote monitoring by healthcare professionals, enabling personalized and adaptive rehabilitation plans. The disclosure ensures accurate, engaging, and safe physical therapy both in clinical and home-based environments."
