MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611073604 A) filed by Dinesh Kumar Verma; and Darsh Verma on June 13, 2026, for Portable Autonomous Presence-Triggered Tuberculosis Pre-Referral Apparatus With Multimodal Response Acquisition, Configurable Evaluation Engine, And Integrated Printed Output Module.
Inventor includes Darsh Verma.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: A portable autonomous presence-triggered pre-referral apparatus comprising an enclosure, a processing module, a presence-detection module, an audio output module, a microphone module, a manual response-input module comprising affirmative and negative controls, a speech-processing unit, a configurable evaluation engine, a printer module, and a power subsystem having separate regulated power supply circuits for the processing module and the printer module. Upon detection of a person within a predefined interaction zone, the processing module automatically initiates an interaction session, delivers a sequence of audio prompts in one or more languages, acquires responses through verbal and/or manual inputs, evaluates the acquired responses using the configurable evaluation engine against predefined criteria stored in memory, and activates the printer module to generate printed pre-referral output when evaluation criteria are satisfied. The processing module autonomously manages session initiation, prompt repetition on non-response, session termination on abandonment, and automatic reset to standby state without human supervision. The apparatus is suited for deployment in hospital outpatient departments, primary health centres, and community healthcare settings.
