MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641105526 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on September 02, 2026, for Heatband For Lower Back Pain.
Inventors include N. V. Tharun Kumar; Dr Abdullah Mohan; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: Due to prolonged sitting, bad posture, a heavy job, and a sedentary lifestyle, lower back pain has become a prevalent health problem that affects people of all ages. Many people need ongoing heat therapy, but traditional heating pads and hot water bags don't distribute heat evenly, are inconvenient, and need regular supervision. The primary goal of this invention is to provide a temperature-controlled, wearable, and adjustable heat band that relieves lower back discomfort while limiting movement and offering safe, reliable, and efficient therapeutic heat. The suggested heat band is made up of a flexible heating element that is electrically operated and incorporated in a soft, breathable, and skin-friendly fabric belt that is made to fit comfortably around the lower back. Users can choose appropriate temperature ranges based on their comfort and medical needs thanks to an integrated temperature control module that regulates heat levels at several customizable settings. To avoid overheating, the system additionally incorporates a thermal sensor for real-time temperature monitoring. A recharged lithium-ion battery powers the heat band, which also has a small control unit with a microcontroller, power management circuitry, and buttons or a display for the user interface. In order to improve blood circulation and muscular relaxation, the device may optionally include vibration massage motors. There is an automated shut-off system to increase efficiency and safety. In comparison to traditional heating pads, the invention offers better therapeutic efficiency, ergonomic design, mobility, and even heat dispersion. The heat band is a useful and affordable way to treat lower back discomfort, and it may be used at home, at work, in hospitals, and when traveling.
