Empowering Mobility: A Smart Wheelchair Integrated with Health Monitoring System

This paper represents a groundbreaking fusion of modern electronics and healthcare technology, offering a comprehensive solution for individuals facing mobility challenges. This research project introduces an innovative approach, leveraging the power of a 12 V 1.3 Ah Lead Acid Battery and the intelligence of an Arduino Uno R3 development board to redefine the conventional wheelchair paradigm. At its core, the project focuses on integrating critical health monitoring components, including ECG and SpO 2 sensors, a DS18B20 Temperature Sensor, and a Pulse Sensor. This integration allows real-time monitoring of vital health parameters, providing users with immediate insights into their well-being. Key to the system’s functionality is its ability to process and display real-time health data on a $20 \times 4$ LCD screen, offering users and caregivers a snapshot of the user’s health status. Moreover, including an alert mechanism featuring a Buzzer ensures timely notifications of any emergent health conditions, further enhancing user safety and well-being. This amalgamation of mobility support and health awareness represents a significant step forward in assistive device technology. By redefining the conventional wheelchair, this project aims to offer an inclusive, intelligent, and compassionate solution for individuals seeking independence and enhanced healthcare accessibility. As technology evolves, this research project stands as a testament to the intersection of innovation and empathy, paving the way for a new era in personalized mobility solutions.
