IoT based Divyang Assistant Technology: Your Hearing Support

Divyang Assistant Technology (DAT) is a proposed technology assisting those with hearing loss. Our proposed wearable device is designed to notify a person when someone addresses him or her by their name or uses generic phrases such as "hey" or "hello." This device would detect the sound from the surroundings and vibrate to warn the user. DAT is a proposed IoT-based system that would assist hearing-impaired people in overcoming everyday challenges. This system would be programmed to detect the individual's name being called by a third party via the Voice Recognition Module (v3) sensor, transform the sound signals to vibrations, and then warn the individual through vibrations, using a vibration motor. The wearable device would vibrate for 2 seconds on catching generic phrases and would vibrate for 4 seconds on catching the predefined user’s name.
