GPS based smart wheelchair monitoring and control system

Abstract

Wheelchairs are essential for people with physical disabilities, seniors, and those temporarily incapacitated due to illness or injury. This study focuses on developing a wheelchair prototype and fall detection system using Raspberry pi Pico W. The system, which includes MEMS Sensor, Bluetooth, and GPS module, triggers an emergency buzzer alert and sends a notification to the affected person in case of a fall. This innovative system improves patient safety and security, offering a reliable fall detection solution that can be customized to meet specific patient needs.
