Abstract:
Communication disorders are more common in elderly people and
paralyzed because they are more likely to suffer from health conditions
that can affect hearing, speech and comprehension. It will be hard for
medical staff or the person in charge to understand what they want to
convey and in helping them to manage their daily needs such as eating,
drinking, bathing and etc.
So we planning to develop a virtual assistant that neatly fits around
arm in the form of a band, which takes care of this time consuming job
leaving with who is care about ones in safe hands!
The system makes use of a microcontroller based circuitry to achieve
this functionality. It makes use of a hand motion recognition circuit and a
receiver plus transmitter circuit. The hand motion circuit is used to detect
hand movements using accelerometer+gyro and then transmit this
information over GSM .
Therefore, this project provides a low cost solution that eliminates the
communication barriers and provides an efficient way of communication
between elderly/paralyzed people and co-patient/ doctors.
