MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114970 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'proactive in-vehicle emergency management system for health and security powered by artificial intelligence.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Jaspreet Singh; Majji Amusha; Antriksh Anand; and Dr. Amit Kumar Goyal.

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 present invention discloses a proactive in-vehicle emergency management system that integrates biometric verification, NFC/RFID-based authentication, and real-time driver health monitoring to enhance vehicle safety and prevent unauthorized access. The system utilises embedded controllers for connectivity to sensors that measure heart rate, sleepiness levels, alcohol detection, and fingerprints. When the system detects abnormalities, such as intoxication, exhaustion, or health issues, it initiates emergency procedures, including seat vibration, ignition disablement, and alarm transmission, utilising GPS and video data. In urgent situations, a manual emergency button instantly sends out notifications. The backend, built on a cloud-based microservice architecture, handles authentication, data storage, real-time monitoring, and emergency routing. The women's safety features include continuous location sharing and discreet alerting mechanisms. The invention transforms reactive safety systems into proactive, intelligent solutions that ensure secure ride access, prevent driver impersonation, and deliver rapid emergency response, thereby significantly improving the overall safety and reliability of vehicle-based transport systems."
