MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047824 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 15, for 'automateddiabeticretinopathy screening system usingahybridcnn-transformermodel.'
Inventor(s) include Sai Prasanth; Dr. Mohan M; Dr. Sandhya; and Dr. G. Deena.
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 an automated medical diagnostic system for screening diabeticretinopathy.Thesystemacquiresretinalfundusimagesandenhancestheim- ages using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization.The enhanced images are processed using a hybrid deep learning inference model comprising a convolutional neural network and a transformer-based network.The system generates a continuous severity score between zero and one, which is mapped to multiple clinically relevant diabetic retinopathystagesincludingnodiabeticretinopathy,milddiabeticretinopathy,moder- ate diabetic retinopathy, severe diabetic retinopathy, and proliferative diabetic retinopa- thy.The invention enables accurate, scalable, and confidence-aware diabetic retinopathy screening with minimal human intervention."
