MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123340 A) filed by Dr. Ashok Kumar Katta; Dr. Ashok D; Ms. Kushbu R; Dr. Amit Verma; Dr. Evelina Brajesh Sahay; Dr. Rupali Johri; Dr. Smita Chaitanya Pangarkar; and Dr. Supriya D. Paigude, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 7, 2025, for 'hardware-based workplace system for analyzing and improving employee well-being and work-life balance.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ashok Kumar Katta; Dr. Ashok D; Ms. Kushbu R; Dr. Amit Verma; Dr. Evelina Brajesh Sahay; Dr. Rupali Johri; Dr. Smita Chaitanya Pangarkar; and Dr. Supriya D. Paigude.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to hardware-based system for analysing and improving employee well-being and work-life balance. The system comprises wearable well-being devices with physiological and motion sensors, workstation sensor modules measuring presence, posture and local environmental conditions, room environmental sensor nodes, and well-being hub device with processing circuitry, memory and communication interfaces. The hub receives data from the devices, computes individual and aggregated well-being metrics such as continuous sitting time, posture quality, activity level, stress indicators and environmental comfort, and transmits feedback control signals. Feedback is delivered through haptic alerts on the wearable devices, visual indicators and displays on workstation modules, and optional automatic adjustment of sit-stand desks, lighting and HVAC equipment. Data are stored locally in encrypted form and only anonymised statistics are exported, enhancing privacy. By embedding analysis and control in dedicated hardware modules, the system provides concrete technical solution rather than a purely software-based program."
