MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122862 A) filed by Meenakshi Academy Of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'reflex-based neuromat for integration of retained primitive reflexes.'
Inventor(s) include Gayathri Selvaraj; Dr. P. V. Hari Hara Subramanyan; and Dr P. G. Mahesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a reflex-based neuromat fabricated for the integration of retained primitive reflexes in children through structured, multi-sensory, and feedback-enabled stimulation. The device comprises a rectangular foldable EVA foam mat divided into zoned modules corresponding to Moro, ATNR, STNR, and TLR reflexes. Each zone incorporates specialized elements such as vibration pads, light-trigger nodes, textured pathways, resistance bands, and thermal patches, integrated with force-sensitive resistors, pressure sensors, and piezoelectric motion sensors. A microcontroller unit positioned within a sealed compartment processes sensor signals, classifies reflex-specific movement patterns, and activates feedback actuators including vibration motors, audio cues, and visual prompts. The neuromat communicates wirelessly with a companion application that provides gamified tasks, real-time monitoring, therapist dashboards, and cloud-based progress tracking. The system enables closed-loop feedback, objective measurement, and enhanced engagement, offering an effective therapeutic solution for pediatric neurorehabilitation in clinical, school, and home environments."
