IoT based Blind People Monitoring System for Visually Impaired Care Homes

Abstract

Nearly 286 million people in the world are visually impaired as of 2021. India stands first in the world for containing large number of visually impaired people. 22% of the world's visually impaired population resides in India. There are also numerous visually impaired care homes in India to take care of those visually impaired people. These people are facing numerous difficulties in their day-to-day life. Visually impaired people find it hard to locate the hindrance in their route when they are moving from one location to another. This may sometimes lead to life intimidating activities if proper alert information is not passed to them at the correct time. In order to alert about such activities, we propose this blind people monitoring system. This system alerts the visually impaired people by identifying the various hinderances in their pathway in advance and alert them to travel with utmost precaution. Our system also sends the exact location details of the visually impaired people to thevisually impaired care homes whenever they are in need of immediate assistance. All the activity of the visually impaired people are monitored and maintained in a database.
