MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061818 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on May 15, for 'system and method for real-time assessment of therapeutic efficacy of focused ultrasound treatment.'
Inventor(s) include Avinash Eranki; and Shaswata Chowdhury.
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: "A system and method for real-time assessment of therapeutic efficacy of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a flexible patch (102) configured to adhere to a patient's skin and a microfluidic network (104) integrated in the flexible patch (102) for collecting biofluids. A unidirectional arrangement (106) comprising hydrophilic intake ports and passive check-valves transports the biofluids to a sensing array (108). The sensing array (108) includes amperometric enzymatic biosensors (108A) for lactate detection, aptamer-based field-effect transistor sensors (108B) for inflammatory biomarkers, and inorganic sensors (108C) for metabolites. A biophysical sensing suite (110) comprising micro-thermistors (110A) and electrodes (110B) measures temperature (T), electrodermal activity (EDA), and heart rate variability (HRV). A processing unit (112) generates an efficacy score based on received signals."
