MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113488 A) filed by UPES, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'wearable pneumatic force-sensor system and method for non-invasive early breast cancer detection.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Dhruv Kumar; and Dhananjay Sharma.
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: "A wearable system for early breast cancer detection is disclosed, comprising a multilayer bra substrate (10) with an inner textile layer (12) and an outer flexible layer (14) that integrates a force sensor array (20) of thin FSR sensors (22) arranged in a grid pattern for acquiring localized force readings. Positioned behind the array is an inflatable pneumatic bladder (30) that is inflated by a miniature pump (40) connected via silicone tubing (42), ensuring uniform pressure against breast tissue. An electronic control module (50) with a microcontroller, ADC, analog multiplexer channels, and RC low-pass filters processes the signals to generate a two-dimensional spatial stiffness matrix, which is wirelessly transmitted via a module (60) incorporating Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi. The system further facilitates a method for non-invasive measurement through controlled inflation and data calibration, enabling early breast cancer detection."
