MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531104577 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on Oct. 30, 2025, for 'portable iot-based healthcare monitoring system for elderly patients with real-time hospital alerting and predictive analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Avishek Banerjee; and Dr. Joyshree Maji.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an IoT-enabled portable healthcare monitoring system designed for elderly individuals. The system integrates a Holter machine for continuous ECG monitoring and a blood pressure sensor, enabling real-time capture of vital health parameters. Through IoT communication, the device transmits data to a cloud server where anomalies are detected. In the event of abnormal readings, the system automatically generates emergency alerts to the nearest hospital, enabling immediate ambulance dispatch by locating the patient through GPS. Simultaneously, alerts are sent to the patient's relatives, ensuring family involvement in emergency care. The system allows patient communication if responsive, or prioritizes hospital response otherwise. Additionally, structured datasets containing patient information, heartbeat readings, and BP measurements are stored in CSV format. These datasets are analyzed using machine learning algorithms to predict potential cardiac or hypertensive attacks, thus enabling proactive healthcare intervention. By combining monitoring, emergency alerting, predictive analytics, and portability, the invention provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges of elderly healthcare supervision and timely treatment, significantly reducing mortality risks."
