MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008931 A) filed by Swami Vivekananda Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 29, for 'a waterproof wearable device and system for continuous physiological and biomechanical fatigue monitoring in swimmers.'

Inventor(s) include Prof. Sandeep Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a waterproof wearable fatigue-monitoring system specifically configured for swimmers, capable of continuously and non-invasively assessing physiological and biomechanical fatigue markers during aquatic training sessions. The system comprises a waterproof wearable device incorporating a plurality of sensors, including a near-infrared spectroscopy sensor for measuring muscle oxygenation and an inertial measurement unit for capturing swim biomechanics such as stroke rate and efficiency. An embedded processor executes a fatigue analysis module that fuses physiological and biomechanical data to determine fatigue onset, progression, and recovery state under underwater operating conditions. Machine-learning models trained on swimmer-specific baseline profiles enable adaptive and personalized fatigue assessment. The system further includes a feedback module configured to generate individualized recovery and training recommendations based on detected fatigue states. Fatigue data and summaries may be transmitted to an external computing device or server for post-session analysis and longitudinal performance tracking."
