Smart Room System for Paralysis Patients with Mindwave EEG Sensor Control

Abstract

Persons with disabilities experience physical, intellectual, mental, or sensory difficulties. One type of disability is paralysis. Paralysis is a condition where there is interference with the nerves that control body movement, causing the limbs to be unable to move. Paralyzed people will find it difficult to move without the help of others. Therefore, research was carried out by creating an intelligent room system to help persons with disabilities manage their own rooms so that they do not always have to be accompanied by a nurse. Paralyzed people can turn lights or fans on and off, and send help messages to their carers via the Telegram bot. This study used the NeuroSky Mindwave EEG headset which detects the user's brain signals with outputs in the form of attention level, relaxation level (meditation), and blink strength level. The resulting signal is processed via a PC and sent via NodeMCU to give commands in the form of turning lights and fans on or off, as well as sending messages to nurses. From this research a system was produced that could turn on the lights based on the value of Attention ≥ 70, turn on the fan based on the Meditation value ≥ 74, then the value of BlinkStrength ≥ 81 which was counted 2 times to turn off the lights, 3 times to turn off the fan, 4 times to turn off the lights and fan, and more than 4 times sending help messages
