# The Stressometer Patent

This is the markdown version of https://drvohras.com/stressometer/patent, a page of Dr Vohra's, a psychiatry and psychology clinic in New Delhi. It is information, not medical advice; the clinic's contact details are at the end.

In October 2025 the Indian Patent Office granted Dr. Sandeep Vohra, the clinic's founder, Indian Patent No. 571666 (application 202111043914) for the Stressometer, which the clinic states is the first Indian patent for an AI-powered digital mental health screening tool. The patent covers the method by which the 55-item instrument scores responses across five dimensions and generates a colour-coded profile with a matched care recommendation.

## What the patent covers

The patent is titled "A machine learning and artificial intelligence based tool for screening emotional & mental health for an individual or a group or masses". The claims concern the screening method: the structured item set across five life dimensions, the scoring and banding into Green, Yellow, Orange and Red, and the mapping of the profile to a recommended level of care. The patent protects the method and system in India.
