IoT Based Seat Adjustable Health Monitoring Wheelchair System by Utilizing Piezoelectric Crystal and Solar Energy
Smart wheelchairs are designed to increase mobility, safety, and independence for the elderly and disabled persons. They are self-powered, reducing reliance on external power sources by incorporating solar panels that harness ambient sunlight to charge the wheelchair's battery and piezoelectric crystal that converts the mechanical pressure or vibration into electric energy. This integration ensures a continuous power supply, further enhancing the chair's functionality. And also, it is automatic turn-on and turn-off wheelchair with the help of piezoelectric. Additionally, the wheelchair includes vital signs monitoring and instant alerts to notify caregivers of unusual situations or falls. It features a safety mechanism that ensures safety by adjusting its path to prevent accidents. The system supports remote monitoring and control, allowing administrators to keep an eye on the user's status from a distance. Furthermore, it keeps users informed and safe by displaying instant updates on internal battery status, power levels, and health metrics on an LCD screen. This wheelchair design incorporates multiple adjustable position angles, allowing for greater flexibility and comfort for the user. The integration of technology, including solar energy and experimentation, this innovative wheelchair offers a practical, efficient, and reliable solution to enhance mobility and promote healthy living.
