MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641125746 A) filed by K. S. R. College Of Engineering on October 22, 2026, for Wearable Multimodal Sensing System And Method For Knee Osteoarthritis Risk Assessment.
Inventors include Dr. P. Meenakshi Devi; Yamunarani T; Brindha M; Indumathi K; Lokesh P; Jagan. S; Deepika S; Rakshana S V; Mohammed Nishar J; Sridhar S K; Rishikesh E S; and Shaja Sri M.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: A wearable multimodal sensing system (100) for knee osteoarthritis risk assessment may be provided. The system (100) may comprise a wearable assembly (102) securable to a lower limb, a motion sensing unit (104) having inertial sensors (106, 108) on the thigh and shin, a flexion sensor (110) across the knee, a plantar pressure sensing unit (112) having heel and forefoot pressure sensors (114, 116), and a joint vibration sensor (118) proximate to the knee joint. A controller (120) may be configured to verify and calibrate the sensors and to acquire the signals concurrently during a movement test. An analysis module (130) may be configured to filter the signals, extract and combine features, and classify a risk level as low, medium or high. An output unit (140) may present the risk level, and a communication module (124) may transmit a referral message.
