Inventor(s) include Nivedita Sharma; Dr. Mohammad Shahzad; Dr. Inzamam Ul Huque; Dr. Rizwan Yousuf; and Dr. Anurag Srivastava.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a smart, flexible bandage capable of real-time wound monitoring and on-demand drug release. The system integrates micro-needle technology with embedded sensors to detect key wound parameters such as pH, temperature and moisture. A microcontroller processes sensor inputs and triggers-controlled drug release based on wound conditions. The device wirelessly communicates with a companion mobile application, providing continuous updates on wound healing progression. The proposed solution reduces infection risk, enhances recovery time and minimizes hospital visits through autonomous care."
