Iot Based Smart Assistant Cane For The Visually Impaired

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Smart Cane for the visually impaired individuals, incorporating several sensors and features to improve their mobility and safety. The device includes an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, an MPU-6050 device for detecting falls and tilts, a GPS module for navigation, an RTC module for medicine reminders, and a fitness tracking module for monitoring health parameters. Additionally, a Bluetooth headset with a microphone is provided to communicate with the voice assistant in noisy areas. The Smart Cane triggers a buzzer for help and sends a notification to the caretaker in case of a fall or crash. The device is powered by a LIPO battery and is designed to improve the quality of life of visually impaired individuals by providing them with enhanced mobility and safety features.
