MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631027197 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on March 9, for 'iot-enabled continuous glucose-retina monitoring smart contact lens.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sambit S Mondal; Sumanta Karmakar; and Dr. Khushi Banerjee.
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: "An IoT-enabled smart contact lens system is disclosed for the continuous, non-invasive monitoring of tear glucose levels and retinal microvascular biomarkers. The device comprises a biocompatible hydrogel substrate encapsulating a dual-sensor array, a wireless IoT transmitter, and an energy-harvesting unit powered by solar films or eyelid motion. Integrated machine learning algorithms process multi-sensor data to generate predictive risk scores for diabetic retinopathy and retinal complications, facilitating real-time alerts via a smartphone application. This invention represents a paradigm shift in diabetic care, providing a continuous and intelligent diagnostic tool for the early detection and prevention of vision loss."
