MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047856 A) filed by Vels Institute Of Science, Technology And Advanced Studies, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 15, for 'rechargeable wearable thermo-therapeutic device with gel-based heat retention and controlled heating system.'
Inventor(s) include Hemamalini J; Ramya; Vaishnavi Anil; Sarika. R; Jennifer. N; Rexy. R; Keerathana. VR; Sitharthan. G; Savurav KK; and Priyanka. B.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A rechargeable thermo-therapeutic device (100) for providing localized heat therapy is disclosed. The device (100) comprises a heat-retentive gel core (101) configured to store and uniformly distribute thermal energy, and a resistive heating element (102) embedded within or adjacent to the gel core (101) for generating heat. A rechargeable power source (103), preferably a lithium-ion battery, supplies electrical energy to the heating element (102). A control unit (104), operatively coupled with at least one temperature sensing element (105), dynamically regulates power based on temperature feedback to maintain the gel core (101) within a predefined therapeutic range. The device further includes an outer casing (configured for conformal body contact, an adjustable fastening assembly for hands-free use, and a charging interface (108), thereby enabling safe, portable, and controlled thermotherapy. will be the reference."
