Suji, Puthur, Tamil Nadu, on May 16, for 'portable non-invasive bilirubin detection and smart neonatal monitoring device with automated phototherapy control and iot-based alert system.'
Inventor(s) include G Petchinathan; Shalini G; R. Gowsika;. G. Vinothini; and R. Suji.
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 present invention relates to a portable non-invasive neonatal bilirubin detection and monitoring device using optical reflectance sensing techniques. The system employs a PPG-based sensing module for bilirubin estimation without blood extraction. A microcontroller processes data from multiple sensors including heart rate, temperature, humidity, crying detection, and airflow monitoring sensors. Based on bilirubin levels, UV phototherapy intensity is automatically regulated using PWM control. The system further provides real-time monitoring, audible alerts, and wireless IoT-based notifications to caregivers. The invention offers a portable, low-cost, and intelligent neonatal healthcare solution suitable for hospitals and remote healthcare environments."
