Abstract

The term "paraplegia" describes paralysis that affects the lower body. It could result from a persistent illness or an accident. Wheelchairs with intelligence play a significant role in helping the disabled. Patients with paraplegia have problems getting around since using a standard wheelchair can occasionally be challenging and require excessive manual effort. This study develops a smart wheelchair that uses a smart glove to assist people with disabilities. Two flex sensors are used by the smart glove to regulate the wheelchair's movement. It has an LCD that shows the conditions of the patients who are also mute.

The wheelchair is equipped with a control mechanism to guarantee that it always moves in a straight manner. When encountering any difficulties, the wheelchair course is adjusted using the control system. The chair was equipped with a Telemedicine System to monitor the patient's vital signs as an added function. The chair is kept at a safe distance using an ultrasonic added to avoid running into any objects.
