Inventors include Dr. M. Manoj Prabu; S. Pavithra; N. Priya Dharshini; E. Raja; and P. Rajesh.

The application for the patent was published on August 21, 2026, under issue no. 34/2026.

Abstract: Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a serious orthopedic emergency caused by increased pressure within a closed muscle compartment, which can reduce blood flow and lead to irreversible damage to muscles and nerves if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Conventional diagnostic methods mainly rely on clinical examination and invasive intracompartmental pressure measurement, making continuous monitoring difficult and increasing the risk of delayed diagnosis. The proposed Non- Invasive Multimodal System for Continuous Monitoring of Acute Compartment Syndrome is designed to provide continuous and reliable assessment of compartment health by integrating multiple physiological sensing techniques, including Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), bioimpedance, temperature, and tissue swelling sensors. The acquired sensor data are processed using an ESP32 microcontroller, which continuously monitors the physiological parameters, compares them with predefined threshold values, and activates visual and audible alerts when abnormal changes indicative of ACS are detected. By combining multiple sensing modalities into a single monitoring system, the proposed approach enhances the accuracy and reliability of early ACS detection while eliminating the need for invasive pressure monitoring. The system has the potential to support timely clinical intervention, reduce the risk of permanent tissue damage, and improve patient outcomes by providing a safe, non- invasive, and continuous monitoring solution for orthopedic and trauma care.
