MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122866 A) filed by Meenakshi Academy Of Higher Education And Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'pediatric wearable system for monitoring and improving sleep patterns.'
Inventor(s) include T. E. Winnie; Dr. P. V. Hari Hara Subramanyan; and Dr P. G. Mahesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a pediatric sleep-hygiene wearable device configured as a child-friendly wristband for monitoring and improving sleep patterns in children aged 4-14. The device integrates an ambient light sensor, accelerometer, skin-temperature sensor, microcontroller unit (MCU), vibration motor, RGB LED indicator, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module, and rechargeable battery enclosed within a sealed, pediatric-safe housing. The system continuously monitors blue-light exposure, movement, and circadian temperature indicators, processes the collected data through embedded sleep-hygiene algorithms, and delivers real-time adaptive interventions including vibration cues and calming light signals to reduce screen exposure, manage stress, and promote sleep onset. Processed data are transmitted to a companion mobile application that provides behavioural insights, gamified routines, and multi-user modes for children, parents, and therapists. The invention offers a closed-loop, interactive, and pediatric-specific solution that improves bedtime compliance, reduces overstimulation, and enhances sleep quality through integrated sensing, feedback, and engagement technologies."
