MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531098703 A) filed by National Institute Of Design, Jorhat, Assam, on Oct. 13, 2025, for 'system and method for biometric-authenticated nail trimming with multi-sensor event logging and anti-loss alerts.'
Inventor(s) include Lahari R Bavimane; Dr. Shiva Prasad Haralahalli Chandrashekharappa; and Dr. Jinka Padmanabha Sampath Kumar.
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 smart nail-trimming device and method are disclosed that elevate hygiene compliance through biometric authentication, multi-sensor clipping detection, and mobile analytics. Prior to use, the device verifies a fingerprint to gate operation and tie activity to an individual. A trigger sensing subsystem comprising one or more of a force sensor, microphone, and vibration sensor detects genuine clipping events, which are timestamped, logged, and synchronized to a mobile application that provides personalized reminders and usage history. A proximity-based anti-loss feature activates beep and vibration alerts from the app and is dismissible only via authorized fingerprint. The system includes BLE communication, a rechargeable battery with USB charging, and firmware upgradability for future health analytics. The invention transforms nail trimming into an accountable, proactive hygiene routine suitable for homes, schools, clinics, and elder-care settings by combining security, event accuracy, behavioral reinforcement, and robust device tracking."
