Assistive design for elderly living ambient using voice and gesture recognition system

The current populace of the elderly is apparently abandoned by the younger generations due to their individual circumstances. To heighten the vitality and strengthen the fitness of elders, assisting a home care system can be an admittance that provides comprehensive nursing and monitoring them in the regular interim. To deliver an interactive service supervision platform to the elders a smart environment of various sensors are clubbed together to establish an intuitive platform that can control the home appliances and gadgets within the living space of elders. The proposed system used voice and gesture (MPU6050 accelerometer) to control the home appliances like turning on/off the light, closing/opening of curtains, TV, and fan or AC within the living spaces. The system also monitors the real-time activity like heart rate and body temperature for the elderly citizens. In the case of emergency, for instance, anomalous behaviors like heart stroke occurs, the proposed system set-up triggers an alarm and the emergency bulb will be strikes "on" to alert their kin. This smart environment can set the temperature and help control the living parameters based on the users' comfort and their health conditions. The whole design is to provide modest support systems for the elder to live healthily and safely in an independent living environment.
