IoT Based Wheelchair for Disabled Persons

Abstract: This project presents the development of an IoT-based wheelchair designed to enhance mobility, safety, and independence for individuals with disabilities. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies allows for real-time monitoring and control of the wheelchair’s functions, making it smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly. Key features include GPS tracking, health monitoring, automatic obstacle detection, voice and mobile control, and smart home integration, all aimed at improving the user’s quality of life.The wheelchair is equipped with sensors that monitor the user’s vital signs (e.g., heart rate, body temperature) and alert caregivers or healthcare providers to any abnormalities. Additionally, fall detection and automatic alerts ensure that immediate assistance is provided in case of accidents. Real-time location tracking enhances security, and obstacle avoidance systems prevent accidents by automatically adjusting the wheelchair’s path.This IoT-based wheelchair also offers remote control features through a mobile application, allowing the user to control their environment, such as adjusting lighting or controlling doors, directly from the wheelchair. It provides maintenance alerts, notifying users and caregivers of potential issues, thereby reducing the risk of mechanical failure.Overall, the IoT-based wheelchair is designed to promote greater independence, safety, and health management for users, while providing efficient support for caregivers, and paving the way for future advancements in assistive technology.
