MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002179 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'smart multimodal neuroimaging system for early alzheimer detection.'
Inventor(s) include Ajay Kumar Badhan; and Dr. Manik Rakhra.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system (100) for early detection and risk prediction of Alzheimer's disease by integrating multiple neuroimaging modalities and artificial intelligence. The multimodal image acquisition module (102) synchronously captures structural MRI, functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, PET, arterial spin labeling perfusion imaging, and quantitative susceptibility mapping. A preprocessing engine (104) standardizes the images through motion correction, artifact removal, intensity normalization, and tissue segmentation. The AI feature extraction module (106) processes modality-specific data using deep convolutional networks, graph neural networks, and diffusion and molecular models. An attention-based multimodal fusion module (108) integrates features, while the hierarchical integration and dimensionality reduction module (110) generates a compact predictive representation. Finally, the risk-prediction module (112) outputs an Alzheimer's risk score with confidence intervals, enabling proactive diagnosis, longitudinal monitoring, and personalized intervention years before clinical symptoms appear."
