MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123663 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'vehicle-integrated support system for passenger comfort and emergency medical response.'
Inventor(s) include Prasshanth. C. V; and Sugumaran V.
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: "Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle-integrated support system (100) for providing passenger comfort and emergency medical response. The system (100) includes an inflator-support system (104) with an inflatable support mattress (106) connected to a pneumatic subsystem (108). Once the user activates the inflate button (110), an inflator (108-2) rapidly inflates the mattress, providing a comfortable resting surface. The system (100) integrates an active occupant restraint system (114) with a harness (114-2) to secure the user and includes a sensor suite (116) for monitoring posture, weight, and physiological parameters. An emergency response and navigation system (118) allows the system (100) to switch to an emergency mode. The system (100) locates nearby healthcare facilities and acquires real-time bed availability using a cellular data transceiver (118-6) and relays navigation instructions to the user. The system (100) adjusts the mattress's inflation based on user position and vehicle dynamics while in motion."
