Soma Bandyopadhyay

Soma Bandyopadhyay is a renowned inventor and patent holder from Kolkata, India. He has a long list of achievements and has patented more than 30 innovations throughout his career. His latest patents are the Non-invasive detection of coronary heart disease from short single-lead ECG and Systems and methods for detecting anomaly in a cardiovascular signal using hierarchical extremas and repetitions.

The Non-invasive detection of coronary heart disease from short single-lead ECG is a significant achievement as Electrocardiography (ECG) signals contain important markers for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). State-of-the-art systems and methods rely on clinically available multi-lead ECG for CHD classification, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, discriminative HRV markers are often not present in short ECG recordings, making long hours of ECG data necessary to analyze. However, using a combination of image and signal processing steps, Soma Bandyopadhyay has made it possible to extract ECG time series from ECG images obtained from commercially available low-cost single-lead ECG devices. This innovation is a game changer in the field of cardiology and medical diagnostics.

On the other hand, the Systems and methods for detecting an anomaly in a cardiovascular signal using hierarchical extremas and repetitions is another breakthrough innovation from Soma Bandyopadhyay. Traditional methods provide for some anomaly detection in the cardiovascular signal but do not consider the discrete nature and strict rising and falling patterns of the cardiovascular signal and frequency in terms of hierarchical maxima points and minima points. Using various levels of signal processing, Bandyopadhyay's innovation helps in detecting anomalies in cardiovascular signals using hierarchical extremas and repetitions by smoothening the cardiovascular signal, deriving sets of hierarchical extremas using window detection, and identifying repetitions in the signal patterns.

Soma Bandyopadhyay has worked for various organizations throughout his career, including TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITED and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He has worked with fellow inventors such as Arpan Pal and Arijit Ukil, contributing significantly to the inventions and patents in their respective fields.

In conclusion, Soma Bandyopadhyay's contributions to the field of innovations and patents are outstanding. His latest innovations add tremendous value to the medical and diagnostic fraternity. With his years of experience and expertise, Soma Bandyopadhyay remains an inspiration to both budding and seasoned inventors around the world.
