MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063426 A) filed by M. Kumarasamy College Of Engineering, Karur, Tamil Nadu, on May 19, for 'system for retinal image based virtual mri brain health assessment using hybrid deep learning.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs. P. Priya; Rohith B; Sanjiv Kumar J; and Sriram K.
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, Retinal-Brain Health Cross-Mapping (RBH-X), is an AI-powered, non-invasive diagnostic system that predicts brain health biomarkers using retinal imaging. The system employs deep learning techniques on fundus scans to estimate MRI-equivalent measures, including hippocampal volume, white-matter hyperintensity (WMH) burden, cortical thickness, and brain age. RBH-X enables virtual brain health mapping without requiring expensive or inaccessible MRI scans, facilitating early detection and longitudinal monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and vascular dementia. The system is portable, scalable, and suitable for population-level screening in hospitals, clinics, and remote healthcare settings. By integrating ophthalmology and neurology, RBH-X transforms routine eye examinations into comprehensive, actionable assessments of neurological health."
