This research explores the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into healthcare systems to assist paralysis patients. Paralysis, characterized by varying degrees of muscle function loss, presents challenges, particularly in mobility and communication. IoT offers solutions through remote health monitoring and gesture-based communication systems, enabling patients to communicate via minimal hand movements. The proposed system aims to address these challenges by incorporating biosensors to monitor vital signs and gesture-based controls for basic communication and home automation. Existing systems face limitations, including imprecise sensors and lack of mobile applications. This project seeks to overcome these barriers, providing a more accurate, efficient, and comprehensive solution to improve the quality of life for paralysis patients.
