MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113249 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 22, 2026, for Biometric-Enabled Smart Seat-Belt System For Driver Authentication And Health Monitoring.
Inventor includes Mamta.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Biometric-Enabled Smart Seat-Belt System designed to enhance vehicle safety, driver security, and health monitoring. The system integrates a 5 biometric sensor within the seat-belt buckle or strap to authenticate the driver before ignition is permitted, thereby preventing unauthorized vehicle access. In addition, the seat-belt incorporates health monitoring sensors embedded in the webbing to measure vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and fatigue levels during driving. A microcontroller unit (MCU) processes the biometric and physiological data and 10 communicates with the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) to allow or deny ignition and to activate emergency safety protocols when required. The system also features an emergency response mechanism that triggers alerts, hazard lights, and GPS-based notifications in case of driver health abnormalities. Furthermore, the invention enables IoT-based communication with mobile applications or cloud platforms for data logging, 15 analysis, and connected safety management
