MUMBAI, India, Dec. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102364 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 24, for 'energy-efficient artificial intelligence system for colon cancer detection on low-power medical devices.'
Inventor(s) include Sakshi; and Dr. Manik Rakhra.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses an energy-efficient AI system (100) for colon cancer detection on low-power medical devices (108). The system comprises a lightweight neural network framework (102) optimized with pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation to reduce computation and energy consumption while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy. A preprocessing module (104) normalizes histopathology images, performs stain augmentation, and addresses class imbalance. An explainable AI module (106) generates heatmaps and region-based activations to enhance clinical interpretability. The system (100) provides real-time classification results, confidence scores, and optional prognostic outputs for decision support. Deployable on embedded processors, portable colonoscopy, and pathology scanners (108), it enables accurate, sustainable, and accessible colon cancer diagnostics in rural and low-resource healthcare environments, bridging gaps in traditional AI deployment while maintaining energy efficiency and clinical trust."
