MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025753 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 5, for 'a chest motion-based system and method for monitoring adherence and performance quality of respiratory exercises.'
Inventor(s) include Santhiya. G; Aravind S; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for objectively monitoring compliance and quality of respiratory exercises using chest expansion sensing. The system comprises at least one wearable or attachable sensing band positioned around the thoracic or thoracoabdominal region of a subject to detect breathing-related movement. The sensed chest expansion and contraction signals are processed to derive respiratory parameters including breathing depth, respiratory rate, breath-hold duration and movement synchrony. Based on predefined therapeutic criteria, the system evaluates whether prescribed respiratory exercises are perfonned correctly and consistently, and determines compliance or non-compliance. The system provides real-time visual or digital feedback to the user and enables storage or transmission of exercise performance data for clinical review. The invention operates without spirometry or forced breathing maneuvers, making it suitable for both clinical and home-based respiratory rehabilitation applications."
