MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023011 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Feb. 26, for 'solar-powered voice-guided system for biomedical waste segregation in rural healthcare facilities.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Mukesh Kumar Malviya; Dr. Deepak Agrawal; Poonam Rijhwani; and Shubi Pandey.
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: "A system (100) for segregation and monitoring of biomedical waste with autonomous power operation and multilingual voice interface includes a solar photovoltaic panel (102) configured to generate electrical power from solar irradiance, a rechargeable battery (104), a hardware processor (106) operatively coupled to a speaker (108) and the rechargeable battery (104). The hardware processor (106) triggers output of a multilingual voice prompt through the speaker (108) in a selected regional language upon detecting human presence and receives a waste category selection signal based on the triggered multilingual voice prompt and triggers output of a category-specific instruction through the speaker (108) based on the received waste category selection signal. The hardware processor (106) records waste deposit data (110) including waste category and fill level based on monitored distance measurements, and transmits the recorded waste deposit data (110) via short message service when cellular network connectivity becomes available."
