MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050563 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, on April 21, for 'self-validated zone-guided optical breast screening system.'
Inventor(s) include Suriya K; Abinaya K; Dhanusri S; and Aishwarya K.
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: "Self-Validated Zone-Guided Optical Breast Screening System is a portable near-infrared screening device designed for reliable home-based breast assessment. The handheld probe sequentially scans predefined anatomical zones while embedded orientation, contact-impedance, and pressure sensors validate proper placement before data acquisition, ensuring repeatable measurements independent of user skill. Dual-wavelength illumination (760 nm and 830 nm) and multi-distance photodetection capture diffuse reflectance signals sensitive to vascular abnormalities. Data are transmitted to a smartphone where a simulation-trained reconstruction network estimates spatial optical absorption maps, followed by machine-learning-based lesion localization and risk classification. The guided acquisition protocol and real-time quality verification enable consistent longitudinal monitoring and accessible early abnormality detection outside clinical imaging facilities."
