We all know that independence refers to the
state of a person wanting or being able to do things for
oneself and make their own decisions, without the hep or
influence from other people. According to the report from
WHO, every year, about 5,00,000 people worldwide
suffer from a spinal cord injury. This has increased the
number of wheelchairs users substantially. So, the ease of
use will make it reliable. The mortality rate of wheelchair
bound increases if timely and quality medical care is not
provided when needed. So, providing a quality medical
care at the right time plays a vital role in saving lives of
wheelchair ridden patients. The health of the patient is
monitored by the combined usage of three different
sensors like the pulse sensor, temperature sensor and the
respiratory sensor. The multivariant data set is fed into
the Arduino UNO, where it is processed, and the output
can be retrieved.Several health parameters are monitored
and measured using this device. This smart wheelchair
will help the family members track the patient’s health by
using a mobile app. If any emergency occurs, the users
can be immediately taken to the hospital and get treated.
This will increase the chances of saving people’s life by a
great number.
