Abstract

In modern life, with the advent of technology, many difficulties are overcome to make life more convenient. But the situations are much more different for people who are physically impaired and still communication to the world is a challenging job for them. The support of sign language and its uses have extended helping hands toward speech-impaired persons but still it is difficult to understand for the common people. This proposed project aims toward implementation of a wearable electronic glove which serves as an electronics speaking system for the speech-impaired persons. The communication is done in the form of audio signals which can be understood by common people. There is also a provision of LCD display which helps the information to convey to be displayed for communication with the hearing-disabled persons. Using real-time operating systems and embedded systems, these technological advances are brought into reality. We also propose to update and track health related information like heartbeat and body temperature using cloud-based storage in Internet of Things (IoT). This will enable to establish an effective communication for those suffering from any kind of communication disorders. For the implementation, we need to depend on accelerometers ...
