Proposed Title of the Invention

Wearable Health Monitoring System for Genetically Triggered Conditions

2. ABSTRACT :

The integration of wearable health monitoring systems with genetic data has
revolutionized the management of genetically triggered conditions. These systems enable
real-time monitoring of key health metrics, allowing for the early detection of symptoms,
prediction of disease onset, and personalized management. Genetically triggered
conditions, such as hereditary cardiovascular diseases, cystic fibrosis, and certain types of
cancer, often exhibit symptoms that can be monitored through physiological signals like
heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen levels. Wearable devices
equipped with sensors can continuously track these signals and integrate them with
genetic information to provide comprehensive insights into an individual's health. The
combination of wearable technology and genetic data empowers healthcare providers to
offer personalized treatment regimens, optimize medication, and adjust interventions
before complications arise. This approach not only improves patient outcomes but also
enhances the quality of life for individuals with genetically predisposed health conditions.
As research advances, the potential for wearable health monitoring systems to provide
predictive analytics and decision support is vast, paving the way for more proactive, data-
driven healthcare strategies in the management of genetic diseases.

4. Background of the Invention:

Present Technologies in the Field:

In recent years, wearable health monitoring technologies have seen rapid advancements,
enabling real-time tracking of various physiological parameters. Common devices
include:
1. Smartwatches & Fitness Bands
o Devices like the Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Garmin monitor heart rate,
oxygen saturation, sleep patterns, and activity levels.
o Some advanced models offer features like ECG monitoring, fall detection,
and irregular rhythm alerts.
2. Medical-Grade Wearables
o Devices such as Zio Patch and BioPatch are used in clinical settings to
monitor cardiac conditions over extended periods.
o These wearables offer higher precision but are often bulky, expensive, and
not meant for everyday use.
3. IoT-based Remote Monitoring Systems
o Systems that collect data from wearables and transmit it to healthcare
providers for remote diagnostics and chronic disease management.
o Used primarily for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart
failure.
4. Genetic Testing Services
o Services like 23andMe and AncestryDNA offer insights into genetic
predispositions to diseases (e.g., BRCA1/BRCA2 for cancer risks).
o However, they are static reports with no continuous monitoring or real-
time feedback.

Limitations of Existing Technologies:

1. Lack of Integration with Genetic Data
o Most wearables focus on general health tracking and are not tailored to an
individual's genetic risk profile.
o They do not adapt their monitoring features based on specific hereditary
conditions a user might be predisposed to.
2. Limited Condition-Specific Monitoring
o Current wearables lack customization for specific genetically triggered
diseases like epilepsy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cystic fibrosis, or
Type 1 diabetes.
o There is no specialized detection of condition-specific biomarkers.
 3. Reactive, Not Proactive
o Existing systems typically alert users after abnormalities are detected,
often missing early physiological changes associated with the onset of
symptoms.
o There’s minimal predictive analytics to anticipate episodes or
complications.
4. Data Silos and Poor Interoperability
o Data collected is often locked in proprietary ecosystems (e.g., Apple
Health, Fitbit Cloud), which limits cross-platform integration.
o Healthcare providers may struggle to access or interpret data in real-time.
5. Privacy and Security Concerns
o With increasing data collection, especially if genetic data is involved, data
privacy becomes a critical concern.
o Many systems lack robust encryption or user consent management for
sensitive health and genetic information.
6. Limited AI/ML Utilization for Personalized Insights
o While some systems use AI, most do not leverage machine learning
models trained on genetic + real-time biometric data to deliver
personalized risk analysis or predictions.
7. Poor Accessibility and High Costs
o Advanced monitoring systems are often expensive and not widely
accessible to the general population.
o Medical-grade wearables are usually insurance-dependent or restricted to
clinical settings.

5. Problems in Existing Technologies:

Despite the rise of wearable health tech, current systems fall short in several areas,
especially for individuals with genetically triggered health conditions. Below are the key
problems and limitations:

1. Generalized Monitoring

Current wearables track basic health metrics (e.g., heart rate, steps, oxygen levels) but
lack specificity for inherited or genetic diseases.

Problem: They do not detect early physiological indicators specific to conditions like
epilepsy, Parkinson’s, or inherited arrhythmias.

2. Disconnection Between Genetic Risk and Real-Time Monitoring

Genetic data is obtained via static reports and is not dynamically used for health
surveillance.

Problem: No real-time monitoring system adapts to or evolves with an individual’s

genetic predispositions.

3. Delayed or No Early Warnings

Most current systems alert users after abnormal values occur, not before.

Problem: Lack of predictive analytics leads to missed opportunities for early intervention.

1. One-Size-Fits-All Design

Wearables are not optimized or customizable for the unique needs of users at higher
hereditary risk.

Problem: Individuals with known genetic mutations are left with generic tracking
solutions.

2. Data Privacy and Interoperability Gaps

Current platforms often have proprietary data systems that are hard to share with doctors
or integrate with hospital EMRs.

Problem: Limits the practical utility of collected data in clinical decision-making.

How the Proposed Invention Solves These Problems:

9. Have you conducted novelty/inventiveness search for your invention? If yes, what
are the databases /references used by you? What are the search results?
Yes, a novelty and inventiveness search was conducted to evaluate the uniqueness and
patentability of the proposed wearable health monitoring system for genetically triggered
conditions. The primary databases and reference sources used include Google Patents,
Espacenet (European Patent Office), WIPO PATENTSCOPE, and IEEE Xplore for
related research publications. Keyword combinations such as “genetic wearable
monitoring,” “real-time health monitoring + genetic data,” “AI-based genetic health
tracker,” and “predictive wearable device for hereditary conditions” were employed
during the search. Existing technologies found primarily focus on generic health
monitoring or separate DNA testing services but lack deep integration of real-time
biosensing with genetic risk data and predictive AI modeling.

The results from the prior art search reveal that while there are numerous patents for
fitness and health tracking devices, as well as platforms for genetic profiling, there is no
comprehensive solution that seamlessly integrates genetic data, real-time biosensor data,
AI-based predictions, and condition-specific alert systems into a single modular
wearable. This confirms that the present invention demonstrates a high level of novelty
and inventive step, especially in terms of personalizing disease surveillance and enabling
early detection for genetically predisposed individuals.

10. Do you feel that a person of “average” skill (not-extraordinary skill) in your area
of technology would have arrived at your invention with existing knowledge in
public domain? If no, what could be the reasons for the same?

No, a person of average skill in the field of biomedical engineering or wearable

technology would likely not have arrived at this invention using only existing public
domain knowledge. While individual components such as wearable biosensors, genetic
testing, and health tracking applications are well-established, the integration of genetic
risk profiles with real-time, condition-specific physiological monitoring—combined with
predictive AI analytics—requires a multi-disciplinary approach that goes beyond average
domain knowledge. Bridging genomics, machine learning, IoT, and real-time healthcare
systems involves an inventive conceptual leap that is not obvious from current solutions
in the market or literature.

Additionally, current wearables are primarily designed for generalized wellness tracking
or reactive diagnostics, not for proactive disease prevention based on inherited risks. The
invention introduces a novel modular architecture, dynamic genetic-health mapping, and
customized alerting systems tailored to specific hereditary conditions like epilepsy,
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and juvenile diabetes. This innovation is the result of a
holistic synthesis of various technologies and an understanding of complex genetic-health
interrelationships, which a typical professional with average skill would not ordinarily
combine or implement in such a manner without inventive insight.
