MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122769 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'system and method for ai-integrated drone-based human health monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Nagarajan Ganapathy; Adeeba Khan; and Barath Parthiban.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for AI-enabled drone-based remote vital sign monitoring and severity assessment in emergency scenarios. The system includes a drone deployment module configured to launch and navigate a drone to an emergency location. The drone includes a multi-spectral imaging module including at least a Red-Green-Blue camera, a thermal infrared camera, and a near-infrared camera configured to capture corresponding video streams of a victim. An onboard edge artificial intelligence processing module processes the captured video streams to extract a photoplethysmographic signal, compute physiological parameters and classify a severity state including alive, critical, or deceased. A processed data packet including physiological and geolocation information is transmitted via a wireless communication module to remote medical infrastructure. A hospital-coordination module receives the data, selects a medical facility based on severity, capacity, and proximity, and triggers pre-arrival resource preparation."
