MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631047332 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Nadia, West Bengal, on April 13, for 'mirrorhand system for bilateral hand rehabilitation using sensor-driven motion replication.'
Inventor(s) include Dibyendu Mandal; Karabi Ganguly; Sumana Banerjee; Smita Rakshit; Bidipta Chakrabarty; Jubi Talukdar; Samiran Kakati; and Anubhav Mukherjee.
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: "The MirrorHand system is a wearable mechatronic device designed for bilateral hand rehabilitation following stroke-induced motor impairment. The invention utilizes a sensor-integrated glove on a healthy hand to detect finger flexion via flex sensors, which produce analog signals for processing by a microcontroller. The system translates these signals into synchronized mechanical motion in a paralyzed hand using servo motors mounted on a specialized mold. By facilitating mirror-motion therapy, the device promotes neural re-learning and motor recovery through repetitive, patient-controlled exercises. The system is lightweight, cost-effective, and suitable for both clinical and home-based environments."
