The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for enabling assistive communication for speech-impaired individuals using multimodal input processing. The system comprises a gesture sensor module (102) configured to detect predefined hand movements and a heart rate sensor module (104) adapted to capture physiological signals indicative of emotional state. A processing unit (106) receives the inputs and includes a gesture recognition module (108) for identifying gestures, a heart rate analysis module (110) for determining stress levels, and a fusion module (112) for integrating gesture and physiological data. The processed output is transmitted to an output module (114) to generate audio and/or display output (116). A power management unit (118) ensures efficient operation. The invention enables context-aware communication by combining gesture inputs with emotional state analysis, thereby enhancing communication effectiveness, ensuring privacy through offline operation, and providing a portable, low-cost assistive solution."
