Head Movement Based Wheelchair Control by Internet of Things

IoT has changed the evolution today by connecting things over the internet which provides transmission of data from one network to another without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT, being one of the trending technologies can also be implemented in health care monitoring systems, especially for the requirements of physically challenged people. The main objective of this project is to provide an automated system for quadriplegic patients. Quadriplegics are the persons who are not able to move any of their body parts. The wheelchair will work based on the movement of users head. Design and development of head movement based wheelchair is implemented using Accelerometer sensor and ESP8266 microcontroller and as well as users heart beat is continuously measured using heartbeat sensor if there is any abnormal means the alert will sent to the caretaker. The caretaker can also control the wheelchair through IoT.
