A SENSOR-BASED SMART INTERFACE FOR COMMUNICATION OF SPEECH AND MOBILITY IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Communication barriers significantly affect individuals with speech and mobility impairments, limiting their ability to interact effectively with others. Assistive technologies can help bridge this communication gap by converting physical gestures into meaningful messages. This paper presents a sensor-based smart interface designed to assist speech and mobility impaired individuals in communicating with caregivers and others. The proposed system uses motion sensors, a microcontroller unit, and a wireless communication module to interpret user gestures and convert them into text or speech output. The system improves accessibility by providing an affordable and easy-to-use communication platform. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system effectively interprets gesture-based inputs and provides real-time communication support, making it suitable for healthcare and assistive technology applications.
