MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050510 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'smart textile-based wearable thermal monitoring band for real-time body temperature measurement.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. M. Udaya Krithika; Dr. K. Mani; Ms. G. T. Pavithra Shen; Dr. D. Raja; Ms. P. Preethi; Ms. V. Srivaishnavi; Ms. S. Ramya Sri; and Ms. V. M. Yogeshwari.
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 textile-based wearable thermal monitoring band for continuous measurement of human body temperature in healthcare applications. The system comprises a flexible textile band made from biocompatible and breathable fabric designed to be comfortably worn on different body parts. A digital temperature sensor is embedded within the textile band and positioned to maintain direct contact with the skin for accurate temperature sensing. The sensor is supported by a thermally conductive substrate to enhance heat transfer and improve measurement accuracy. The sensed temperature data is processed by a microcontroller unit and transmitted wirelessly to an external device such as a smartphone or monitoring system through a wireless communication module. The device further includes a power supply unit and an alert mechanism configured to generate notifications when the detected temperature exceeds predefined threshold limits. The wearable band is reusable, washable, and suitable for continuous health monitoring in clinical, home healthcare, and fitness environments."
