MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611088649 A) filed by Thapar Institute Of Engineering & Technology on July 21, 2026, for A Smart Orthopedic Wearable Device For Monitoring Bone Fracture Recovery.
Inventors include Yash Saini; Nandini Mudgal; Aditi Shreya; Ayush Sharma; Apoorv Yadav; Mayank Agarwal; and Hari Shankar Singh.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-enabled, non-invasive wearable system for monitoring bone fracture recovery. The system comprises a magnetic sensing arrangement having a magnet and a Hall-effect sensor or magnetometer for detecting magnetic-field variations associated with fracture-site displacement or alignment changes. The system further integrates flex, force, temperature, galvanic skin response, and optionally MEMS three-axis gyroscope sensors. An ESP32 microcontroller processes the acquired sensor data and wirelessly transmits it to a remote platform for real-time visualization and threshold-based alerts. Prototype validation using a 3D-printed bone model demonstrated detection of simulated fracture and realignment conditions with response times of approximately 85–120 ms, thereby enabling continuous multi-parameter recovery monitoring and remote supervision.
