This project presents a health monitoring and assistive system designed for paralysis and physically challenged patients, integrating various sensors and microcontrollers to enhance patient care. The system utilizes an Arduino UNO microcontroller to continuously monitor vital health parameters such as ECG, body temperature, pulse, and movement through an MPU6050 gyroscope. If any parameter exceeds the predefined limit, an SMS alert is sent via a GSM module to notify caregivers. Additionally, the system incorporates flex sensors and a voice module connected to a PIC microcontroller to provide communication assistance, allowing patients to convey their needs through gesture-based input. The LCD display provides real-time feedback on the patient's health, making the system user-friendly. This innovative combination of medical monitoring and assistive technology offers an accessible solution to improve the quality of life for physically impaired individuals.
