MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008857 A) filed by Acic Miet Meerut Foundation; Prashant Kumar Gupta; and Alok Sharma, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 29, for 'hand hygiene monitoring ring with automatic wash detection and feedback mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include Prashant Kumar Gupta; and Alok Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The disclosure relates to a hand hygiene monitoring ring (100) and a method for automatic detection, recording, and feedback of hand washing events. The ring includes a ring body (102) housing a microcontroller (104) having a sensor interface (106), processing (108), timing (110), storage (112), power management (114), feedback control (116), and optional communication module (118). A sensor unit (120) with one or more sensors, including capacitive, humidity, temperature, or motion sensors, provides signals representing hand washing activity. A feedback module (122) with an LED, buzzer, or vibration element produces an output signal for a verified event. A power source (124) supplies energy, and a non-volatile memory (126) stores event data. The processing module (108) determines verified hand washing events from sensor inputs, activates the feedback module (122) for a set period, and records event data, enabling independent and continuous hygiene monitoring."
