Abstract
To develop a self-dependent tool by providing home automation to the
quadriplegic patient control electric devices by considering patient’s blow or breath and eye
movement as input. By taking into consideration the fact that in all the cases of paralyzed
patient only eye and breathing were the active parts in patient’s body. Using patient’s
breath or by making him blow through the pressure sensor, fan and motor is controlled and
using eye movement (left ,right, open and close) patient can send a message to any person
that he needs a doctor or food and controls switching on and off of the light. The
advancement in home mechanization is pushing ahead towards the future in making the
perfect brilliant homes environment. Alternatively, Utilizing breathe and eye movement
detection. The control and checking framework for home appliances from Graphical User
Interface (GUI) utilizing breathe and eye movement identification of dependent patient that
utilization an information source and being control remotely. There will be a GSM used to
send a message to the attender or nurse that patient may need food or doctor in case of
emergency. The control signal is given by MATLAB by tracking the eye movement of the
patient.
