MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050012 A) filed by Sreenidhi Institute Of Science And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 20, for 'autonomous water distress detection system using sensor fusion and incapacitation logic.'
Inventor(s) include Kalluri Ashritha; Joshitha Boppana; Ramshetty Sai Nipun; Shailendra Alladi; and Dr. Svp Subba Rao.
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: "Disclosed herein is a water safety monitoring system (100) configured to detect distress conditions in a water environment that comprises a plurality of sensors (102) including a motion sensor, a water immersion sensor, and an orientation sensor, a positioning module (104), a processing unit (106), a pre-processing module (108), and a distress detection module (110). The distress detection module (110) evaluates processed sensor data to identify distress based on abnormal motion, water immersion, unsafe orientation, and absence of recovery movement within a predefined time interval. A communication unit (112) transmits a distress signal including location data to external entities. The system is implemented in a wearable device (114) and communicates with a vessel-mounted receiver (116) for relay. The system enables autonomous detection, reduced false alarms, and reliable emergency communication in water environments."
