MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511133248 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'verifiable mental health intervention system with edge-signed intent activation and consent-gated hybrid therapy.'
Inventor(s) include Kritika Dhanesh Magnani; Swastik Dutt; Archit Singh; and Dr. Pooja Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a verifiable mental-health intervention system for enabling secure, consent-controlled, and auditable delivery of mental-health assistance. The system comprises a user device configured to generate a cryptographically signed intent packet, an edge-based intent generator for embedding a nonce and digital signature, and a backend server configured to verify the signed intent and compute a runtime consent token defining access scope and permissions. A crisis detection module determines a mental-health risk state of a user, and a consent-scoped retrieval module retrieves encrypted user memory accordingly. An intervention orchestrator selectively initiates an artificial-intelligence-based intervention, a human-therapist intervention, or a hybrid therapy session based on the detected risk state and consent scope. The system further includes encrypted cloud storage for user journals and memory, a secure communication interface for therapist interaction, and a cryptographic audit mechanism that generates a Merkle-based audit record anchored to a distributed ledger, thereby ensuring tamper-proof and verifiable mental-health interventions."
