Illinois Patent of the Month – May 2025
CareBand Inc. has earned U.S. Patent No. 12,290,339 for a next-generation wearable system. It blends edge computing, low-power wide area network (LPWAN) connectivity, and autonomous machine learning. This breakthrough enables fast, local decision-making—even without stable internet access.
Smarter Wearables with Built-In AI
The new system processes sensor data on the device itself, thanks to built-in machine learning. It uses a central processor along with specialized chips, such as graphic or tensor units. As a result, it delivers insights in real time without sending data to the cloud.
Stronger, Safer Connectivity
The technology connects over long distances using LPWAN protocols. This allows for continuous monitoring with low power use. Therefore, it’s ideal for remote care, industrial safety, and outdoor health applications. Even in areas with weak networks, the device stays connected and functional.
Real-World Impact in Healthcare and Beyond
This patent marks a major step forward for CareBand Inc.. By combining local data processing with robust connectivity, the system enhances how we monitor health and safety. Most importantly, it brings intelligent care tools to places traditional systems can’t reach.
With this invention, CareBand Inc. continues to lead the way in wearable innovation for real-world challenges.
