MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631029816 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 12, for 'eldershield ai - intelligent fall detection and instant alerts for elders.'
Inventor(s) include Mrinmoy Guria; Debrupa Pal; Dr. Papri Ghosh; and Dr. Subhram Das.
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: "A smart fall detection and alert system for seniors comprises a wearable device with a multi-sensor suite including an accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometric pressure sensor. A processing unit executes a hybrid fall detection algorithm that fuses sensor data, combining threshold-based analysis with machine learning classification to distinguish fall events from activities of daily living. Upon confirming a fall, a communication module transmits an alert packet to a central server. The server manages an escalation protocol, notifying designated caregivers and emergency services while providing critical user data, including GPS coordinates and pre-fall physiological information. The system provides a robust solution for enabling independent senior living by ensuring rapid, location-aware emergency response without requiring manual user intervention."
