MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133530 A) filed by Meenakshi Academy Of Higher Education And Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'system and method for virtual reality-based medical training and skill development.'
Inventor(s) include Indhu C; Hari Hara Subramanyan P V; Rajashri C K; and Kavitha M.
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: "System and Method for Virtual Reality-Based Medical Training and Skill Development The present disclosure relates to a system and method for developing and validating VR based medical skills and training that account for anatomical and physiological constraints through biofeedback. The system includes an interface for VR, one or more haptic input devices, a storage area for models of anatomical and physiological constraints, and a computer with capabilities to collect real time data on a user's procedural interactions, particularly related to tool position, orientation, and force. During a user's actions, the computer will dynamically apply anatomical and physiological constraints related to the specific procedures being performed and simulates the effects of tissue or biofeedback based on causality. The computer will also evaluate whether these procedures are safe and performed correctly in real time. Whenever a user interacts with he or she is identified as having had an interaction that is not safe or anatomically correct, the computer will make technical adjustments to the haptic resistance, limit the motion of the tool, or dictate the pace of the procedure. The computer also develops a machine verifiable proficiency fingerprint for each user that describes the user's performance in terms of precision accuracy, force stability, causality correctness, and safety adherence. These machine verifiable fingerprints will be used to create a framework for dynamically managing future procedure training scenarios. With the use of the systems and methods described here, an objectively validated, technically governed, and safety enforcing virtual medical training framework exists to utilize for clinical skill development and evaluation."
