MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044133 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'cognitive triggered physiotherapy safety system using eye tracking and reflex delay analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Pavithra S; Srihan M; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent physiotherapy safety monitoring system designed to assess cognitive readiness and prevent injury during therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation. The system utilizes an eye-tracking sensor module to monitor ocular parameters including blink rate, gaze fixation, and saccadic eye movements, along with a reflex response analysis unit to measure reaction time during physiotherapy activities. A microcontroller integrated with an artificial intelligence and machine learning module processes real-time data to identify cognitive fatigue, delayed neural response, or reduced attention levels in patients. When unsafe cognitive conditions are detected, the system generates visual, auditory, and wireless alerts to pause or modify physiotherapy exercises. The system is non-invasive, portable, and adaptable for use in neurological rehabilitation, geriatric care, sports injury recovery, and home-based physiotherapy programs. By objectively monitoring cognitive readiness, the invention enhances patient safety, reduces exercise-related injuries, and improves rehabilitation outcomes."
