National Recognition for Digital Health Innovation: Dr. Abhijeet Prasad Sinha Receives Government of India Patent

The patent grew out of Dr. Abhijeet Prasad Sinha’s PhD at DIT University, which focused on mHealth and nutrition informatics interventions for the home-based self-care of Type 2 diabetes. That research led to the development and evaluation of Swayam Diabetes, an integrated mobile health platform that supports people in managing their condition. Published studies on the project examined the app’s user-centred design, usability and utility in home settings. The patent reflects the full arc of an academic research programme, from identifying a healthcare problem through digital intervention development, evaluation and publication to intellectual property protection.
