MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611092904 A) filed by Chandigarh University on July 31, 2026, for Smart Photonic Sleep Mask With Circadian Adaptive Sunrise Wake Simulation.
Inventors include Dr. Vijay Mohan Shrimal; Divya Verma; Rishabh Verma; and Deven.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Circadian-Neuro Adaptive Photonic Sleep Mask configured to improve sleep quality and awakening through biologically synchronized photonic stimulation. The device comprises a lightweight, breathable eye mask incorporating a calibrated multi-spectrum LED array configured to emit red, orange, and warm white light for simulating natural sunrise progression. Integrated EEG sensors and motion sensors continuously monitor user sleep stages, while a microcontroller dynamically controls light intensity and spectral modulation to initiate awakening during an optimal light sleep phase. The device operates in a Night Mode that emits low-intensity red light to promote melatonin secretion and facilitate rapid sleep onset, and a Morning Mode that gradually increases illumination for gentle awakening. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports overnight operation, while wireless mobile application connectivity enables personalized configuration of timing, brightness, colour progression, and wake duration. The invention provides adaptive, energy-efficient, portable, and circadian-aligned sleep enhancement
