Intellicare Glove: AI Powered Smart Glove for Elderly and Disabled Assistance

The Intelli Care Glove introduces an affordable, AI-enabled wearable system tailored to meet the health and communication needs of elderly and differently abled individuals. Designed as a smart glove, the system continuously monitors vital health metrics including heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), temperature, and physical movement using integrated biomedical sensors such as MAX30100 and MPU6050. These sensors are interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP8266, enabling real-time data processing and wireless communication. The system transmits this data to a custom-built mobile application via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing caregivers to access live health updates remotely through a user-friendly dashboard. Key features of the Intelli Care Glove include gesture recognition, fall detection, and multilingual voice command support, making it accessible and functional for users with limited mobility or speech impairments. Emergency alerts are automated through platforms like IFTTT, which trigger notifications to caregivers in response to predefined conditions such as abnormal health readings or sudden falls. Health data is securely stored using Firebase, ensuring both real-time and historical monitoring. QR code-based pairing simplifies the device setup process, while voice-enabled interactions allow users to request assistance without needing physical input. The combination of low-cost components, cloud connectivity, and AI-based assistance makes this system highly scalable for use in both rural and urban settings. The Intelli Care Glove not only enhances independent living but also improves caregiver response times, offering a proactive and inclusive solution to modern healthcare challenges.
