(Nasdaq: RDZN) (“Roadzen” or the “Company”), a global leader in AI at the intersection of insurance and mobility, today announced that its DrivebuddyAI platform has been granted a patent in India for its Real-Time Driver Drowsiness Detection Algorithm. DrivebuddyAI’s patented system leverages AI and computer vision to monitor over 92 real-time eye and facial cues, enabling early detection of driver fatigue and triggering instant alerts—helping prevent accidents before they occur. The newly granted patent strengthens Roadzen’s expanding global IP portfolio, with additional filings underway in the U.S. and Europe.
