System and Method for Health Assessment and Dietary Recommendations Using Wearable Pulse Diagnostic Device

Abstract

Abstract: In 2021, global health spending reached approximately $8.5 trillion, accounting for about 10% of the world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). On the other hand Providing three meals a day to all individuals experiencing hunger would cost approximately $389.5 billion annually. If 10% of the global health spending is achieved an amount of $850 billion could be saved which is more than twice the amount to feed the poor of the world. The present invention relates to a system and method for assessing individual health through a wearable device that applies the traditional Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis) principles combined with modern sensors and data analytics. The data when analyzed with modern and traditional medical practices would detect and alert to physical anomalies at a very early stage. This could be addressed with traditional herbal and e-RAPHA – Divine Health! RHEMA SYSTEMS CHENNAI 600107 www.rhemasys.in or medical supplements before it progresses to a disease or ailment. The wearable device continuously monitors the pulse of an individual, capturing various physiological signals reflective of the individual’s Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances as understood in Ayurveda. The collected data is transmitted to a cloud-based server for further analysis, where it is processed using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that mimics the ancient Nadi method. The system generates a detailed health assessment, predicting potential health issues and offering personalized recommendations for dietary changes, herbal supplements, and lifestyle modifications. The system provides real-time feedback through a mobile or web application, offering users a holistic approach to maintaining and improving their health based on their unique body constitution (Prakriti) and health imbalances (Vikruti).

Description:Complete Description Outline:
#1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to health monitoring system, specifically to a wearable diagnostic system that integrates traditional Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) with modern sensors, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. The system provides personalized health assessments and recommendations for dietary changes, herbal supplements, and lifestyle improvements.
#2. Background of the Invention:
Traditional Nadi Pariksha or Pulse analysis, is an ancient Ayurvedic diagnostic technique that assesses the body's physiological and emotional states by analyzing the pulse. While effective, it relies heavily on the experience of the practitioner. Modern technology has yet to fully integrate this diagnostic method into wearable health devices. By leveraging modern sensors and AI, this invention aims to bridge that gap, offering a continuous and objective health assessment system that provides real-time recommendations for dietary and herbal supplements.

#3. Summary of the Invention:
The invention comprises a wearable device equipped with sensors that continuously monitor the individual's pulse and other relevant physiological signals, such as heart rate variability and blood pressure. These signals are processed based on Ayurvedic principles to determine the individual's current health status (Vikruti) and balance of bodily energies (Prakriti). The data is transmitted via the internet to a cloud-based server where AI algorithms perform a detailed analysis to predict potential health issues and recommend specific dietary and herbal supplements. The results are presented to the user through a connected mobile or web application, providing personalized health insights and wellness plans.

#4. Detailed Description of the Invention:
4.1. Wearable Device:
- Hardware Configuration:
- The wearable device is equipped with pulse sensors, accelerometers, and temperature sensors. It is worn on the wrist, where it measures pulse rhythm and strength continuously.
- The sensors are capable of capturing pulse characteristics similar to the Nadi method, focusing on Vata, Pitta, and Kapha diagnostic markers.
- Data Collection:
- The device collects real-time data on pulse pressure, variability, rhythm, and temperature, which are essential for Nadi-based analysis.
- The device includes wireless transmission capabilities (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) to send the data to a cloud-based server.
4.2. Cloud-based Server and AI Processing:- Server Architecture:
- The collected data is sent to a secure cloud-based server where it undergoes AI-based analysis. The server hosts a

proprietary algorithm trained to analyze pulse data following Ayurvedic principles.
- AI Diagnostic Model:
- The AI model is trained on Ayurvedic diagnostic data, allowing it to assess imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha based on real-time pulse signals.
- The AI processes the data, identifying potential health imbalances, predicting disease tendencies, and with modern medical practices analyzes and generates recommendations for herbal and dietary supplements suited to the individual's constitution.
4.3. User Interface (Mobile/Web App):
- Health Report:
- The processed data is presented to the user through a mobile or web interface. The health report includes detailed information on current health imbalances, potential health risks, and personalized dietary and herbal supplement recommendations.
- Real-Time Alerts:
- The app provides real-time feedback on daily health changes and recommends lifestyle adjustments, such as yoga or meditation, based on Ayurvedic principles.

4.4. Personalized Recommendations:
- Dietary and Herbal Recommendations:
- The system provides tailored dietary plans and herbal supplements based on the user's Ayurvedic profile (Prakriti and Vikruti). These include specific herbs to balance Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, and foods to promote health based on the user's imbalances.
- Lifestyle Recommendations:
- In addition to diet, the system suggests lifestyle changes, including sleep schedules, exercise routines, and stress management techniques aligned with the user's Ayurvedic constitution.
4.5. Security and Privacy Features:
- Data Encryption: All data transmitted from the wearable device to the server and then to the user's mobile application is encrypted to ensure privacy and prevent unauthorized access.
- User Consent and Data Access: The user has control over their data and can choose to share it with health professionals or Ayurvedic practitioners for further consultation , Claims:I CLAIM:
