Bimol Chandra Das, a Bangladeshi graduate student at Trine University in the United States, has been granted a design patent by the United Kingdom's Intellectual Property Office for an artificial intelligence-powered wearable device aimed at transforming remote healthcare monitoring.
The patent registration, issued by the UK IPO, formally recognizes and protects the innovative design of the device, which forms the core of Das's ambitious "AI-Based Healthcare Monitoring System".
Unlike conventional fitness trackers, the smart wearable integrates advanced biomedical sensors to continuously monitor critical vital signs - heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. Its embedded AI engine delivers predictive health alerts, detects medical anomalies in real-time, and can trigger emergency SOS notifications, marking a shift toward proactive patient care.
The device operates within a comprehensive digital health ecosystem that includes a mobile application with separate portals for patients and healthcare providers. The system also incorporates an AI-powered medical chatbot based on the BioGPT model. A key feature under development is Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration, enabling seamless data flow from the wearable directly into clinical information systems.
Das, who holds a graduate degree in Business Analytics, is applying his technical expertise to address critical gaps in preventative care and chronic disease management in the US healthcare sector.
"The next chapter in U.S. healthcare is about intelligence and connection," Das said. "By combining wearables with AI, we can empower proactive care that anticipates health issues before they escalate, delivering better outcomes for patients nationwide."
