Abstract

The IoT-enabled wearable assistive technology demonstrates considerable promise to enhance mobility, environmental awareness, and independence in those with visual impairments. The device combines hardware sensors with advanced computer vision models, linking theoretical innovation to practical rehabilitative applications. Future endeavours will encompass extensive user validation to improve usability, accessibility, and user comfort. Consequences for rehabilitation: Wearable devices driven by IoT can enhance mobility and situational awareness for those with visual impairments. The incorporation of machine learning-derived feedback facilitates safer, autonomous navigation in fluctuating situations. The modular system architecture facilitates adaption for a wider range of assistive and rehabilitation applications. The research enhances the design of cost-effective, intelligent assistive technologies that align with rehabilitative objectives and the creation of inclusive technology.
