MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611049066 A) filed by Manav Rachna University; Dr. Teena Hassija; Dr Preeti Singh; Dr. Savita; Dr. Shivoham Singh; Prof. Hemant Kothari; and Prof. Pooja Kapoor, Faridabad, Haryana, on April 17, for 'a wearable ring-based system for real-time stress-induced eating behavior regulation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Teena Hassija; Dr Preeti Singh; Dr. Savita; Dr. Shivoham Singh; Prof. Hemant Kothari; and Prof. Pooja Kapoor.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes a wearable biomedical and digital therapeutic system configured for real-time detection, classification, and regulation of stress-induced eating behavior. The system is embodied as a ring-type wearable integrating multimodal biosensors to monitor physiological parameters including heart rate variability, galvanic skin response, skin temperature, and sweat-derived biomarkers. A machine-learning model processes the acquired data to identify individualized stress signatures and predict imminent emotional eating events. Upon exceeding a predefined threshold, the system generates non-invasive neural feedback through haptic, thermal, or tactile cues to interrupt compulsive intake behavior. A companion application provides behavioral analytics, intervention prompts, and cognitive support. The system enables a closed-loop therapeutic framework combining biosensing, predictive analytics, and behavioral modulation, thereby addressing limitations in existing wearables and dietary applications. The disclosure is applicable to obesity management, behavioral therapy, and preventive healthcare."
