IoT Based Medical Solution for The Paralytic / Differently-Abled Patients

Patients suffering from partial paralysis or other disabilities that impair their muscle movements restrict their ability to express their basic needs and face a huge challenge to communicate in their daily lives. Hence, they must be given a means to relay their messages with ease without having to invest any major amount of capital. The authors have developed a device that helps these people to communicate simply by moving a part of their body. The device has three major components: a transmitter, a receiver and a web dashboard powered by Blynk. In this work, the aim is to provide a solution for individuals with physical disabilities and offer them the ability to effectively convey their basic needs and emotions. The paper presents the experimental results obtained while testing the device and aims to advocate the need for such assistive devices that improve the lives of differently-abled people.
