[0021] The present invention relates to a plant-based medicinal formulation device that is capable of detecting the exact geographical location of the user for finding the required medicinal plants in the user's vicinity.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a plant-based medicinal formulation device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal-shaped housing 101 with a handle 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed on the housing 101, a flexible strap 104 fixedly connected to the housing 101 via a robotic link 105, a holographic projection unit 106 mounted on the housing 101, an articulated arm 107 integrated with a motorized cutting unit 108, a chamber 109 installed inside the housing 101, a motorized lid 110 is provided on apex of the chamber 109, a multi-sectioned container 111 stored inside the chamber 109, a motorized nozzle 112 attached with each of the container 111, a motorized grinding unit 113 installed inside the chamber 109, an electronic valve 114 is attached with the chamber 109, a conduit 115 lined with the valve 114, a detachable box 116 installed underside the chamber 109, an opening 117 carved on the housing 101, multiple primary hinges 118 are integrated within the strap 104, an L-shaped extendable rod 119 with a circular ring 120 at tip is installed on the housing 101, a plurality of sharp-edged blade 121 connected through secondary motorized hinges 122, a magnetic therapeutic patch 123 is attached to the housing 101 via an extendable bar 124, the patch 123 is adjusted using a motorized ball-and-socket joint 125, a Peltier unit 126 is integrated inside the chamber 109.
[0023] The device disclosed herein employs a cuboidal-shaped housing 101 that is developed to be hand-held by a user via a handle 102 attached with the housing 101. This housing 101 is typically constructed from material that include but not limited to high-strength materials such as reinforced steel or durable aluminum alloys, which provide a robust and resilient enclosure capable of withstanding physical impacts and environmental stressors. The housing 101 is equipped with the handle 102 which assists the user in comfortably holding the device. The handle 102 is furnished with a cushioned cover which helps the user to maintain comfort during the use.
[0024] For activating the device, the user needs to press a push button which is arranged on the housing 101 which in turn activates all the related components for performing the desired task. After pressing the button, a closed electrical circuit is formed and current starts to flow that powers an inbuilt microcontroller to allow all the linked components to perform their respective task upon actuation.
[0025] For capturing the facial expressions and subtle changes in user features, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 is installed on the housing 101. The imaging unit 103 is used to detect early signs of health conditions based on skin texture, eye movement, and facial muscle activity. The imaging unit 103 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the user, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit 103 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 103 also comprises of the processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and evaluates early signs of health conditions based on skin texture, eye movement, and facial muscle activity.
[0026] A health database stored in a memory unit and accessible via user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit accessed by the user. The user-interface is configured to receive personal and medical information of the user as input into a user profile created in the database for reference. The user interface (UI) allows users to input personal and medical information into the health database. The UI ensures intuitive access to stored data. The computing unit processes user inputs, manages the health database, and executes commands based on stored medical data. The communication module facilitates data exchange between the computing unit, health database, and external devices via wireless protocols like Wi-Fi. The module ensures secure data transmission to retrieve and modify health records as needed.
[0027] To the housing 101, a flexible strap 104 is fixedly connected via a robotic link 105, adapted to be engage around wrist portion of the user. The robotic link 105 consists of linked segments connected by joints, which are powered by motors to enable movement in all directions. The rotary joints of the link 105 enable rotational motion around a fixed axis, while prismatic joints allow for linear, sliding movement. The link 105 is activated by the microcontroller to engage the flexible strap 104 around the wrist portion of the user.
[0028] A sensing module is integrated within the strap 104 to detect the vital health parameters of the user. The microcontroller correlates the collected health data with pre-stored user health profiles to detect potential health imbalances or ailments, and provides step-by-step guidance on preparation of herbal formulations using raw herbal ingredients. The sensing module includes a PPG (Photoplethysmogram) sensor to detect heart rate variations and blood flow patterns. The PPG (Photoplethysmogram) sensor in the sensing module operates by emitting light, typically from an LED, onto the skin and measuring the amount of light absorbed or reflected by blood vessels. As blood volume changes with each heartbeat, the intensity of reflected or transmitted light fluctuates accordingly. A photodetector captures these variations, converting them into electrical signals that correspond to pulse waves. These signals are then processed to determine heart rate and analyze blood flow patterns.
[0029] The sensing module also includes an ECG (Electrocardiogram) sensor for measuring electrical signals of the heart, aiding in detecting cardiac irregularities. The ECG sensor in the sensing module functions by detecting the electrical signals generated by the heart during its rhythmic contractions. The sensor typically consists of multiple electrodes placed on the skin, which capture voltage fluctuations caused by the depolarization and repolarization of heart muscles. These electrical signals are then amplified, filtered, and processed to generate an ECG waveform, which provides critical insights into heart activity. By analyzing these waveforms, the sensor can detect abnormalities such as arrhythmias, heart rate variations, and other cardiac irregularities.
[0030] A sweat sensor is present in the sensing module for analyzing sweat composition. The sweat sensor in the sensing module operates by detecting and analyzing the chemical composition of sweat to provide insights into the user's physiological state. The sensor typically consists of microfluidic channels that collect sweat and biochemical sensors that measure specific biomarkers such as electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium), glucose, lactate, or pH levels. These sensors work through electrochemical or colorimetric detection methods, where changes in ion concentration or chemical reactions generate measurable electrical signals. The collected data is processed and analyzed to assess hydration levels, stress, metabolic activity, or potential health conditions.
[0031] An IR (infrared) temperature sensor is configured with the sensing module for continuous monitoring of skin temperature, detecting fever or thermoregulation issues. The IR (infrared) temperature sensor in the sensing module operates by detecting the infrared radiation naturally emitted by the skin. The sensor consists of a thermopile sensor that absorbs this radiation and converts it into an electrical signal. The intensity of the detected infrared energy correlates with the skin’s surface temperature, allowing the sensor to provide accurate readings without direct contact.
[0032] A pulse oximeter sensor for measuring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels, identifying potential oxygen deficiency conditions. The pulse oximeter sensor measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels by utilizing light absorption properties of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. It typically consists of a red and an infrared (IR) LED that emit light through the skin, usually at the fingertip, and a photodetector that measures the intensity of light transmitted or reflected. Since oxygen-rich hemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and oxygen-poor hemoglobin absorbs more red light, the sensor calculates the ratio of absorbed light to determine SpO2 levels. This data is processed in real-time to assess oxygen efficiency in the bloodstream. Multiple primary hinges 118 are integrated within the strap 104, enabling the strip to dynamically adjust shape and fit for different wrist sizes and positions, ensuring optimal sensor contact. The primary hinges 118 integrated within the strap 104 function as flexible pivot points, allowing the strap 104 to dynamically adjust the shape and fit to accommodate different wrist sizes and positions.
[0033] The microcontroller is integrated with a GPS (Global Positioning System) module to determine the exact geographical location of the user. The GPS module determines the user’s exact geographical location by receiving signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. The module consists of a GPS receiver that captures low-power radio signals transmitted by at least four satellites. Each satellite transmits data containing its position and precise time. By calculating the time delay between signal transmission and reception, the GPS module determines the distance from each satellite. Using trilateration, it computes the user’s exact latitude, longitude, and altitude. So, the exact location of the user is determined.
[0034] The microcontroller utilizes an IoT (Internet of Things) module, operatively connected to an herbal plant database, to retrieve real-time data on availability and location of medicinal plants in user's vicinity. The IoT (Internet of Things) module enables real-time connectivity with an herbal plant database to retrieve information on the availability and location of medicinal plants in the user's vicinity. The IoT module sends location coordinates (from the GPS module) to the herbal plant database. The server processes the request, cross-referencing geotagged plant data, and transmits relevant information back. The microcontroller then displays real-time updates, guiding the user to nearby medicinal plants.
[0035] The imaging unit 103 is integrated with an image recognition protocol that accesses nearby plants. The image recognition protocol in the imaging unit 103 operates by capturing images of nearby plants and analyzing them using advanced computer vision. The process begins when the imaging unit 103, equipped with a camera, takes a photo of a plant. The captured image is then pre-processed to enhance clarity and remove noise. The recognition protocol utilizes a trained deep learning model, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN), to compare the image against a database of plant species. Key features like leaf shape, color, texture, and vein patterns are extracted and matched with stored data to identify the plant.
[0036] Upon detecting the presence of the plant required for curing user-specified health condition, the microcontroller actuates a holographic projection unit 106 mounted on the housing 101, to project light onto the plant’s surface. This assists the user in plant identification so that the user moves towards the plant. The holographic projection unit 106 creates light that appears to float in space by utilizing principles of light diffraction and interference which begins with a coherent light source splits into two beams which illuminates the recording medium. When these beams intersect, they create an interference pattern that encodes the light's amplitude and phase information on a medium like holographic film. To visualize the hologram, this recorded pattern is illuminated again with coherent light, recreating a light field that mimics the original object’s light field, allowing viewers to see a 3D image from various angles. The projection unit 106 also display visual instructions to the user, providing a step-by-step guide for preparing herbal medicines based on health parameter, making process of preparing herbal substances more accessible and user-friendly.
[0037] An articulated arm 107 integrated with a motorized cutting unit 108 is attached with the housing 101. Once the user moves towards the plant, the articulated arm 107 is guided by the microcontroller to cut different parts of plant that are collected inside a chamber 109 installed inside the housing 101. The articulated arm 107 is composed of interconnected segments joined by rotational or linear joints, allowing precise and flexible movement in multiple directions. The motorized cutting unit 108 is attached with the articulated arm 107. The cutting unit 108 for cutting the different parts of the plant operates by using an electric motor to drive a sharp rotating blade 121, enabling precise and efficient cutting. When powered, the motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, which moves the cutting element at high speed. Hence, the different parts of the plant are collected in the chamber 109. The chamber 109 is made from the similar material as the housing 101 for stability and resistance to corrosion.
[0038] On the apex of the chamber 109, a motorized lid 110 is provided that is dynamically regulated by the microcontroller for controlled collection of the plant. The motorized lid 110 operates through an electric motor controlled by the microcontroller, enabling precise regulation for plant collection. The arrangement consists of a small DC motor, gears, and a hinge that allows smooth opening 117 and closing of the lid 110.
[0039] For maintaining an optimal temperature inside the chamber 109 to preserve the plant’s therapeutic properties, a Peltier unit 126 is mounted inside the chamber 109. The Peltier unit 126 provides a heating effect using the thermoelectric principle based on the Peltier effect. It consists of a thermoelectric module (TEM) made of semiconductor materials arranged between two ceramic plates. When the electric current flows through the module, it creates a temperature difference, causing one side to absorb heat (cooling effect) while the other side releases heat (heating effect). Hence, the Peltier unit 126 maintains the optimal temperature inside the chamber 109.
[0040] On the housing 101, an L-shaped extendable rod 119 with a circular ring 120 at the tip is installed. The ring 120 houses a plurality of sharp-edged blades 121 connected through secondary motorized hinges 122. The rod 119 and blade 121 is dynamically actuated by the microcontroller to accurately penetrate the soil and extract plant's root if required. The extendible rod 119 operates using a telescopic mechanism that allows it to change length dynamically while maintaining structural integrity. The rod 119 consists of interlocking segments that slide within each other. The rod 119 works by utilizing the pneumatic unit. The pneumatic unit for extension and retraction operates using compressed air to drive a piston inside a cylinder. When air is supplied to one side of the piston, it creates pressure that pushes the piston rod outward, causing extension. To retract, air is supplied to the opposite side while the initial chamber 109 is vented, pulling the piston rod back. The rod 119 extends and places the sharp-edged blades 121 on the soil to accurately penetrate the soil for extracting the plant's root if required.
[0041] A multi-sectioned container 111 is arranged inside the chamber 109 and stored with herbal ingredients. The herbal ingredients include but not limited to honey, Azadirachta Indica and other common substances. The herbal ingredients are concentrated substances derived from plants, capturing specific active compounds that offers therapeutic benefits. For example, Azadirachta indica is known for the detoxifying and antimicrobial properties, this plant has been utilized to support immune health and maintain skin health. Based on user-specified health conditions and imbalances, the microcontroller regulates the actuation of a motorized nozzle 112 attached with each of the container 111 to dispense optimal amount of the ingredients inside the chamber 109. The motorized nozzle 112 operates for dispensing optimal amounts of ingredients based on user-specified health conditions and imbalances. The nozzle 112 consists of a small electric motor connected to a valve that controls the flow of ingredients from the container 111 into the chamber 109. The motor then adjusts the valve opening 117 speed accordingly, ensuring precise and measured dispensing.
[0042] The microcontroller then actuates a motorized grinding unit 113 that is installed inside the chamber 109. The grinding unit 113 mixes/grinds the plant pieces with the ingredients. The motorized grinding unit 113 inside the chamber 109 operates through an electric motor that drives a set of rotating blades to process plant pieces and ingredients into a fine mixture. When activated, the motor generates rotational force, transferring torque for grinding. The grinding unit 113 ensures uniform mixing by continuously agitating the contents and preventing clumping. Hence, the plant pieces and the ingredients are finely mixed.
[0043] The microcontroller actuates an electronic valve 114 that is attached with the chamber 109 to open and transfer the fine power towards a conduit 115 lined with the valve 114 and gradually inside a detachable box 116 installed underside the chamber 109, allowing the user to collect the prepared medicinal formulation via an opening 117 carved on the housing 101. The detachable box 116 is connected by using the electromagnets. The electronic valve 114 consists of a motor-driven actuator that opens or closes the valve 114 based on electrical signals. When the microcontroller determines that the fine powder is ready for transfer, it sends a command to energize the actuator, which moves a diaphragm and ball to open the valve 114. This allows the controlled release of the powder into the detachable box 116 through the conduit 115.
[0044] To the housing 101, a magnetic therapeutic patch 123 is attached via an extendable bar 124. The extendible bar 124 operates using the telescopic mechanism that allows it to change length dynamically while maintaining structural integrity. The extendible bar 124 typically consists of interlocking segments that slide within each other for extending and retracting to provide movement to the patch 123. The patch 123 is adjusted using a motorized Ball-and-Socket joint 125, providing targeted pain relief and healing benefits through magnetic therapy, consistent with herbal practices. The magnetic therapeutic patch 123 operates by generating a controlled magnetic field that interacts with the body’s tissues to promote pain relief and healing, in alignment with herbal therapeutic practices. The patch 123 consists of strategically placed permanent magnets embedded within the patch 123, which emit a consistent magnetic field. This field is believed to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular repair. The ball-and-socket joint 125 adjusts the patch 123 during the operation. The motorized ball and socket joint 125 enables precise rotational movement in multiple directions by integrating an electric motor. The ball, typically attached to a shaft, fits into the socket, allowing it to rotate freely around several axes. The motor is responsible for rotating the ball within the socket, providing controlled movement along different planes, adjusting the patch 123 for providing targeted pain relief and healing benefits through magnetic therapy.
[0045] For supplying power to electrical and electronically operated components, a battery is associated with the device. The battery powers electrical and electronic components by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery’s terminals provide a voltage difference, allowing current to flow through circuits that supplies consistent energy to actuate and operate components like motors, sensors and microcontrollers, ensuring seamless functionality.
