MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126664 A) filed by Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 15, 2025, for 'real-time behavioural modelling system for predicting leave against medical advice (lama) in emergency care.'
Inventor(s) include Som Aditya Juyal; and Apurvaa Trivedi.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a real-time behavioural modelling system for predicting Leave Against Medical Advice (LAMA) in Emergency Departments (EDs). The system continuously monitors multidimensional patient, clinical, operational, financial, and logistical svariables to generate a dynamic LAMA risk score. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), latent behavioural constructs such as patient dissatisfaction, trust, perceived recovery, and stress are converted into numerical risk probabilities, which are updated in real time. When the risk exceeds a predefined threshold, the system automatically generates alerts for clinical personnel, recommending targeted interventions including counselling, expedited care, financial guidance, or communication reinforcement. The system can be deployed as a HIS/EHR-integrated plugin, standalone SaaS platform, or mobile/tablet interface, enabling proactive LAMA prevention, improved patient retention, reduced medico-legal exposure, and enhanced quality of emergency care, particularly in high-volume, low-resource hospital settings."
