MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541084952 A) filed by Gitam Deemed to Be University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, on Sept. 8, 2025, for 'system and method for real-time plant health monitoring using wearable electrochemical nanocomposite sensors.'
Inventor(s) include Munmun Das; Titisha Chakraborty; and Ravi Kishore Bhagavatula.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a system and method for real-time plant health monitoring using wearable electrochemical nanocomposite sensors is disclosed. The system includes a flexible, plant-wearable sensor patch embedded with multiple electrodes functionalized to detect biochemical markers such as pH, calcium, magnesium, and methyl salicylate. The electrodes are coated with a Galinstan-ZIF-8 nanocomposite to enhance sensitivity and signal transduction. A miniaturized potentiostat processes the electrochemical signals, converting them into quantifiable biomarker data. A data interpretation unit analyzes the data, compares it against stress thresholds, and generates alerts. The analyzed data is transmitted via a wireless module to a cloud server, which performs machine learning-based analysis and prediction. A user interface displays plant health status and provides recommendations. The system enables early stress detection, remote monitoring, and precision agriculture decision-making."
