MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611092197 A) filed by Tulas Institute on July 29, 2026, for A Wearable Device For Detecting And Preventing Falls In Elderly Persons.
Inventors include Dr. Sandeep Kumar; and Ritu Pal.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: A wearable device monitors an elderly wearer for developing instability and completed falls using correlated motion, body contact, altitude, and physiological information. A personalized risk engine distinguishes ordinary activity from hazardous movement and determines a probable corrective direction. Spatially differentiated haptic feedback guides the wearer during a recoverable imbalance. Multimodal confirmation reduces false alarms, while a user-verification interval permits safe cancellation. Confirmed events initiate location-enabled caregiver communication through alternative wireless pathways. Adaptive sampling and local processing support responsive operation, privacy, and extended battery endurance.
