MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621029289 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 11, for 'method and apparatus for portable knee joint assessment with integrated multi-modal sensing.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Nidhi Tiwari; Pallavi Thakur; and Vidit Hirve.
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 disclosure relates to portable apparatus for comprehensive knee joint assessment with integrated multi-modal sensing and instant results display. The apparatus comprises a housing (102) for single-handed grip, a multi-axis inertial measurement unit (104), a load cell (106) having a force-sensing axis projecting through a load application pad, a bioimpedance measurement circuit (110), a contact pressure sensor array (112), and a hardware processor (118) configured to determine a knee joint flexion angle; compute a laxity metric based on force data from the load cell (106) and displacement data derived from the multi-axis inertial measurement unit (104); compute an effusion index acquired from the bioimpedance measurement circuit (110); and automatically capture measurement values."
