Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'Uncertainty-Aware Multimodal Clinical Decision System For Retinal Disease Diagnosis Using OCT Scans' Filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology

MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051634 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on April 23, for 'uncertainty-aware multimodal clinical decision system for retinal disease diagnosis using oct scans.'

Inventor(s) include Keerthika P; Suresh P; Nitesh Kumar A R; and Harshini J S.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a computer-implemented multimodal clinical decision support system (100) for processing optical coherence tomography B-scan images. The system (100) comprises an input module (102), a preprocessing module (104) configured for contrast enhancement, vessel enhancement, and intensity normalization, and a feature extraction module (106) configured to generate structural and vascular feature representations. A feature fusion module (108) implements bidirectional cross-attention to combine the feature representations into a fused feature embedding. A classification module (110) processes the fused representation to generate class probability outputs. An uncertainty estimation module (112) computes prediction uncertainty using stochastic forward passes, and an explainability module (114) generates saliency representations corresponding to the outputs. A clinical interface module (116) integrates preprocessing, feature extraction, fusion, classification, uncertainty estimation, and explainability within a unified system architecture."
