ParaCom: an IoT Based Affordable Solution Enabling People with Limited Mobility to Interact with Machines

EasyChair Preprint no. 3345

Abstract

This paper proposes a solution to improve the lives of patients who are paralyzed and/or suffering from different Motor Neuron Diseases (MND) like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Primary Lateral Sclerosis etc. by making them more independent. Patients suffering from these diseases will not be able to move their arms and legs. They also lose their body balance and the ability to speak. Here we propose an IoT based communication controller using the concept of Morse Code Technology. The paper proposes integrating an IoT device with a Smartphone which can be controlled using the IoT device through the concept of Morse Code.

Keyphrases: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Arduino, Arduino Leonardo, Digital device, Eye-tracking device, Home Automation, Internet of Things (IoT), IoT device, Morse Code, Motor Neuron Disease (MND), Paralyzed Person, Smart Home, Special Character, user interface
