Development of an IoT Based Domestic Monitoring and Alerting System for Paralysed Patients

We might come across lots of paralyzed patients in our day-to-day life. The cause of the condition could be due to trauma because of accidents, stroke, polio etc., Depending on the nerve response to the brain and spinal cord, the specific parts of the body or even the whole body become paralyzed accordingly. To make distance communication between the patient and caretaker easier, we have implemented an IoT based system to send and receive an SMS by using LabVIEW Software. The patient can send the SMS easily by hand movements. The message will be sent according to the direction of the patient's hand movement. This Software is used to send, read the data to the cloud and message will be sent to the caretaker's mobile simultaneously. We have also used GSM in our project to send the message as SMS. The main motto of this project is to send the message to the caretaker as fast as possible. Besides paralysed individuals, visually impaired persons and Covid patients in hospitals who are unable to use a cell phone and need to make contactless communication with physicians, can utilize it. This gadget can be used for a multitude of long-distance communications. The prototype is relatively inexpensive and portable.
