Designing of automated paralysis patient healthcare system

Abstract

We come across hospitals and non-profit organizations that care for people with paralysis who have had all or part of their body incapacitated by the paralysis attack. Due to a lack of motor control by their brain, these individuals are typically unable to communicate their requirements because they are neither able to speak clearly nor use sign language. In such a circumstance, we suggest a system that enables a disabled person to display a message over the liquid crystal display (LCD) screen by merely moving any part of his or her body that is capable of motion. This solution also addresses the circumstance where the patient is alone and no one is available to care for him or her, sending an Internet of things (IoT) message instead of a short messaging service (SMS). The system operates by interpreting the user part’s tilt direction. By grasping the device in the fingers of the moving hand, the device’s operation is demonstrated. To communicate a message, the user only needs to tilt the gadget at a specific angle. The message is conveyed differently depending on the way the gadget is tilted. Here, the statistics of motion are measured using an accelerometer. This information is then transmitted to a microcontroller. The microcontroller analyzes the data and displays the specific message in accordance with the input received. The associated message is now shown on the LCD screen by the microcontroller. As soon as it receives a motion signal from the accelerometer, it also emits a siren and a message. If no one was available to respond to the message on the LCD, then the patient might opt to tilt the device for an additional period of time, which would cause an SMS to be sent via IoT to the patient’s registered caretaker with the message the patient wishes to communicate.
