Aid for ALS Patient Using ALS Specs and IOT

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a disease which affects the brain and spinal cord nerve cell which lead to losing voluntarily control over arm, legs, and face. Detecting pupils and eye movements of a person can be an important method to help Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients to communicate with others. Encompass with smart appliances and devices an infrastructure can be developed by connecting them with the Internet of Things (IoT), which can be controlled with a tablet. This paper proposes an eye movement tracking and head motion sensor system connected to an IOT infrastructure to ease the daily endeavor of ALS patient. A calibration is to be done at the very first time of the use and can be calibrated any time later when required. The proposed system will help the ALS patient to communicate with others by using their eye movements which will lead them to live an independent life.
