The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Maintaining hygiene in public and institutional washrooms is crucial for health and user satisfaction. Traditional cleaning methods, based on fixed schedules and manual inspections, are inefficient and often lead to poor cleanliness, risking the spread of infections. The Automated Washroom Hygiene Tracker is an IoT-enabled solution that integrates intelligent sensing and monitoring. It uses sensors to track occupancy, odour intensity, humidity and consumable availability, securely transmitting this data to a centralized cloud platform. Real-time visualization through an interactive dashboard offers administrators actionable insights, while predictive alerts via SMS notify cleaning staff for timely interventions. This system enables data-driven cleaning schedules, reduces manpower inefficiency and supports compliance with health standards. By enhancing operational efficiency and user satisfaction, the tracker is scalable for use in various facilities, including airports, malls and smart cities."
