MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641064327 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 21, for 'wearable device for air quality monitoring and characterization.'
Inventor(s) include Anagh Vasishtha; Aryan Verma; and Anita X.
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 disclosure provides a wearable air quality monitoring device (101) including a wearable respiratory enclosure (114), a sensor array (120) within a sampling region (122), a differential pressure sensor (108), and a control unit (110). The differential pressure sensor (108) detects a respiratory phase of the user based on a pressure differential within the wearable respiratory enclosure (114) arising from airflow during inhalation and exhalation. The control unit (110) receives air quality measurements from the sensor array (120) exclusively during a detected inhalation event, applies sensor compensation based on environmental conditions, determines an air quality indicator representative of post-filtration air quality inhaled by the user, and transmits the air quality indicator to an external device."
