MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517069486 A) filed by King Abdullah University Of Science And Technology; and King Saud University, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, on July 21, for 'methods for diagnosing or monitoring a disease in a subject using spectroscopy.'

Inventor(s) include Incitti, Roberto; Gojobori, Takashi; Liberale, Carlo; Nabholtz, Jean-Marc Andre; Al-Saleh, Khalid; Grassi, Elisa; and Bahadoor, Mohun R. K.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for diagnosing a disease, such as breast cancer, in a biological sample using spectroscopic data is described. The method involves a computer-implemented method that converts spectroscopic vibrational from the sample into a profile and scores the profile using a pair of reference profiles. Based on the score and a threshold, it can be determined whether the subject from which the sample was obtained has a disease, and, if so, to what extent. The method also allows detection of early and pre-disease states in subjects based on the detection of the signal of low concentration analytes that are indicative of early or incipient disease states. The method is non-invasive, non-subjective, highly specific, and sensitive. The method affords the application of a single standard of diagnostic accuracy, independent of the availability of expert pathologists."

The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 22, 2023, under International application No.PCT/IB2023/063176.
