MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113210 A) filed by Shivalik College Of Engineering; Er. Kshitij Jain; Dr. Sumit Kumar; Er. Ajay Verma; and Er. Shivali Pundir, Sherpur, Uttarakhand, on Nov. 18, 2025, for '"portable handheld ultrasound imaging system for point-of-care diagnostic applications.'
Inventor(s) include Er. Kshitij Jain; Dr. Sumit Kumar; Er. Ajay Verma; and Er. Shivali Pundir.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a handheld, portable ultrasound imaging device designed to provide real-time diagnostic imaging using a compact, integrated hardware architecture. The system combines a miniaturized multi-frequency ultrasound transducer, a low power analog front-end (AFE), and an embedded beamforming and image-processing unit within a single, ergonomically designed unit. The device incorporates advanced digital signal processing, including adaptive beamforming, speckle-reduction algorithms, and AI assisted enhancement to optimize image clarity in low-power, handheld operation. The ultrasound probe interfaces wirelessly or via USB-C with external displays such as smartphones, tablets, or computers, enabling remote viewing, telemedicine integration, and cloud-based diagnostic support. The system is powered by an integrated rechargeable battery with optimized thermal management and EMI-shielded electronics ensuring stable operation and patient safety. This handheld platform supports multiple imaging modes including B-mode, M-mode, and Doppler-assisted flow indication (optional), allowing non-invasive examination of soft tissue, musculoskeletal structures, abdominal organs, vascular pathways, and obstetric fetal monitoring for research purposes. The invention significantly reduces size, cost, and power consumption compared to conventional ultrasound systems while maintaining clinically relevant image quality. It enables portable diagnostic imaging in remote, rural, emergency, and point-of-care environments, making ultrasound more accessible and scalable across diverse healthcare settings."
