Embedded System for Wheelchair Using IoT

Abstract: Those who have permanent disabilities due to accidents, paralysis, or old age are frequently dependent on others assistance when it comes to movement. This Embedded system is created to assist individuals, giving them access to remote health services via a health monitoring system and increases their independence because their health is regularly recorded and monitored by the sensors without any effort. Because disabled patients cannot afford to travel, smart healthcare systems assist them in gaining access to healthcare. A feasible solution to monitor the patient’s health is by developing a health monitoring system with additional features since it is adequate for a wider range of audiences and it doesn't require tons of maintenance unlike the wearable systems. This project aims to develop a smart sensing embedded system for wheelchair by integrating sensors into its structure and developing an app that provides data visualization of all the monitored data along with automatic alerts when an anomaly is detected. With Internet of Things, sensors detect heart rate and sp02 levels, and embedded systems process them before sending them to the cloud that kicks off a trigger in case of any abnormalities. Depending on the user's preference, the trigger can be sent via SMS or e-mail.
