MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051762 A) filed by Anand Babu; Japheth Santosh; Sneha Manoj; Tonny Kurian Abraham; Dr. Anju Pratap; and Saintgits College Of Engineering, Vellad, Kerala, on April 23, for 'integrated elderly care platform using wearable sensors and vision-based gesture alerts.'
Inventor(s) include Japheth Santosh; Sneha Manoj; Tonny Kurian Abraham; and Dr. Anju Pratap.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention establishes a system called the Integrated Elderly Care Platform Using Wearable Sensors and Vision-Based Gesture Alerts; this system is designed to improve the safety and healthcare response abilities for older adults. The technologies used in creating this system include IoT technology, health monitoring sensors, fall detection systems, and an AI/ML-based gesture recognition system. The system will provide continuous support by using a MAX30102 sensor to monitor vital signs (heart rate and blood oximetry) while an MPU-6050 accelerometer and gyroscope will help to monitor for changes in motion (falls). An ESP32 microcontroller will collect and analyze sensor data to transmit over wireless technology to a mobile application. Elderly users will be able to use hand gestures to convey their needs to the Integrated Elderly Care Platform Using Wearable Sensors and Vision-Based Gesture Alerts through its AI/ML-based gesture recognition model. When the Integrated Elderly Care Platform Using Wearable Sensors and Vision-Based Gesture Alerts detects a health emergency (like a fall) or an emergency gesture, it will trigger the alert through the mobile application to notify the caregiver about the emergency. This proposed system offers a compact footprint, economical price point, and easy-to-use design to provide dependable, real-time monitoring and support to older people who wish to maintain independent living as a viable option."
