Abstract |
|
There are people in this world who are severely disabled due to quadriplegia, spinal cord injuries, central nervous system disorders or traumatic brain. Assistive technology plays a very vital role in their life. This technology helps them to live independent life. The “Tongue Operated Device†is a tongue operated Assistive Technology which is developed for such people to control their environment. This system consists of magnetic sensors mounted on a patients jaw to measure the magnetic field generated by a small permanent magnet placed on the tongue. The signals which are coming from sensors are transmitted across a wireless link and processed to control the wheelchair, media player in laptop etc. There are many Assistive Technologies but they are having certain demerits. The tongue is considered as an excellent appendage in severely disabled people for operating an Assistive device. |
