MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641016025 A) filed by Srivardhini Ramesh; Kharaniya. K. S; Arvind. N; Shahul Hameed S; Dr. P. Grace Kanmani Prince; and Dr. Bethanney Janney, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 13, for 'smart gait analysis for diabetic neuropathy patients.'
Inventor(s) include Srivardhini Ramesh; Kharaniya. K. S; Arvind. N; and Shahul Hameed S.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention proposes a smart wearable gait analysis system designed for early detection and continuous monitoring of diabetic neuropathy and associated foot-ulcer complications. The system integrates multiple sensors including 10 Force Sensitive Resistors (FSR) for plantar pressure measurement, an MPU9250 inertial measurement unit for motion and orientation tracking, a MAX30102 photoplethysmography sensor for heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring, and a SHTll sensor for temperature and humidity sensing. These sensors are interfaced through a duaiESP32 microcontroller architecture enabling synchronized wireless data transmission and real-time acquisition. Embedded firmware processes sensor outputs, while Python-based software generates. dynamic foot-pressure heat-map visualizations and gait analytics. By combining biomechanical, physiological, and environmental parameters, the proposed system provides a portable, low-cost, and user-friendly diagnostic platform suitable for both clinical and home healthcare settings. This integrated approach facilitates early identification of abnormal gait patterns, pressure imbalances, and potential ulcer risks, thereby supporting preventive care and improving long-term outcomes for diabetic patients."
