MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521125101 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Sangli, Maharashtra, on Dec. 11, 2025, for 'wearable microfluidic smart undergarment for continuous multi-biomarker detection of gynecological disorders.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Varsha T. Lokare; Prof. Prakash M. Jadhav; Prof. Jayashree A. Patil; Prof. D. R. Patil; and Prof. Vinmay Mokashi.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes a smart undergarment incorporating textile-printed microfluidic channels, multi-modal biochemical and biological sensors, and physiological monitoring components to provide continuous, non-invasive detection of gynecological diseases. The fabric integrates hydrophilic capillary structures that guide vaginal secretions to discrete sensing wells functionalized for biomarkers such as pH, lactate, sialidase, inflammatory cytokines, pathogen-specific antigens, and temperature variation. A detachable electronics module performs signal acquisition, preliminary processing, and wireless communication with a companion mobile application. The system analyzes biomarker trends to identify early signatures of PCOS, vaginal infections, reproductive-tract tuberculosis, and gynecological cancers. Alerts and diagnostic insights are delivered directly to the user, enabling timely medical consultation. Designed for daily wear, comfort, and wash durability, the smart undergarment transforms passive clothing into a proactive diagnostic platform for women's reproductive health."
