Abstract

Abstract: In this project, we propose the development of an innovative smart electric wheelchair tailored to address the needs of individuals with mobility impairments. The primary objective is to enhance their quality of life and promote independence through the integration of cutting-edge technologies. The wheelchair's standout feature lies in its incorporation of advanced control mechanisms, notably head gesture control. This intuitive navigation system allows users to maneuver the wheelchair effortlessly, while also offering joystick controls. Furthermore, the wheelchair integrates a pulse oximeter sensor, enabling realtime health monitoring. This functionality is crucial for individuals with mobility impairments who may require continuous monitoring of vital signs such as oxygen saturation and heart rate. The inclusion of Blink facilitates remote monitoring and caregiver alerts, providing peace of mind to both users and their caregivers. Safety is paramount in the design of this wheelchair. To ensure safe navigation in various environments, the wheelchair is equipped with obstacle detection and protection mechanisms.
