Smart Wheel Chair with Health Monitoring

Project Title

Smart Wheel Chair with Health Monitoring

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

The main problem faced by paralyzed people is their dependence on others for mobility. Continuous supervision is also necessary to keep check on the health of the patient. External help is needed to perform the daily activities. Electric wheelchairs are now available for paraplegics, but they are to much expensive for low income people. Health monitoring, if needed, should be done externally for the patient. The main idea is to design an automated wheelchair system for paralyzed people along with continuous health monitoring. The main idea is to design an automated wheelchair system the model for paralyzed people along with continuous health monitoring. Health monitoring system continuously monitors pulse rate and temperature of the patient. The monitored data is wireless transferred to a remote device to keep track of patient’s health. The wheelchair will move based on the voice of the user. The recognized voice is used to generate motion control commands from the controller so that it can control the motion of the wheelchair according to the user’s intention.

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to develop a prototype of smart wheelchair system which shows it doesn’t need the manual human interaction on the wheelchair (handling the wheelchair to move around). This prototype is mainly created to enable a disabled person to handle the wheelchair movement in easy manner. We have to define proper working to be control over wheel chair with smart device and also to monitoring the health on smat device also.

Project Implementation Method

Implementation

The Implementation Phase will include the following aspects:

Build the Wheelchair Movement system

Based on our block diagram we design a movement system of a wheelchair using the components like motor driver to run the motors using the battery. The Arduino programming using their IDE. And using Bluetooth module to have connection with Android App in order control the prototype with it. 

Health Monitoring System:

We Use Heart Beat and Temperature sensor for monitoring health over arduino and android connection.

Build the Application

Building the Application so that the person can give the voice command to the wheelchair system so that the wheelchair can move. To keep the track record of the patient and observation of the patient so that it can be notified in an emergency.

Benefits of the Project

After several studies and survey around the world it have shown that both children and adults benefit substantially from access to a means of independently move freely. Though many disabled people can satisfied with traditional manual or powered wheelchairs, there is a category of disabled community find it difficult or impossible to use wheelchairs independently. So the benefit of the project have to be in the result is to have control of wheel chair through voice not only by key with smart phone through app in easy manner.And also have to monitor patients health with the app to avoid any of health emergency.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

we are trying to design a prototype wheelchair whose direction of movement depends on voice recognition. It also has a battery that supplies power for motion of the wheelchair. An additional feature of this smart wheelchair is that it provides real time health monitoring that keeps track of basic health parameters like temperature and pulse rate and transmits it to a remote device.

The wheelchair will move based on the voice of the user. The recognized voice are used to generate motion control commands from the controller so that it can control the motion of the wheelchair according to the user’s intention. The inputs to this system are Accelerometer, Ultrasonic Sensor. Battery is used to power the Arduino. The output from Arduino drives two motors through motor driver IC. And also an automated system for continuous measurement of heart rate and body temperature is essential. The proposed system provides the information about both pulse rate and body temperature and is useful for monitoring condition of patients.
