MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024505 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on March 2, for 'smart earpiece system for predictive drowsiness monitoring and real-time alerts.'
Inventor(s) include Naman Gahlot; and Dr. Deepak Kumar.
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: "The present invention relates to a smart earpiece system for predictive drowsiness monitoring and real-time alerts designed earpiece that enables continuous monitoring of driver alertness. Its embedded processing system analyzes real-time brain wave activity, heart rate variability, and head movement data using proprietary fusion algorithms to generate a dynamic "Drowsiness Probability Score," capable of predicting fatigue onset 2-5 minutes before critical impairment occurs. When high-risk conditions are detected, the device activates a closed-loop adaptive alerting sequence that escalates from gentle vibrations to controlled electrical stimulation until physiological awakening is confirmed. To enhance safety, the system incorporates emergency protocols that automatically notify pre-configured contacts with GPS location details in the event of repeated critical fatigue episodes. A companion mobile application supports real-time monitoring, trip analytics, and remote notification management, ensuring seamless integration into the driver's routine."
