Abstract

In order to assist the patient in returning to everyday activities, newly created, high-tech gadgets are used in their bodies. Particularly for the individuals with paralysis, like quadriplegics, who endure immense suffering as a result of their physical restrictions. The development of a tool to help those with paralysis, like quadriplegics, is now imperative. In addition, individuals are keen to digitize their daily lives in an effort to engage in less physical activity. Our notion is to create an assist device that would enable someone to operate any item they use in their everyday life with less physical effort and would allow us to automate our home's electrical appliances simply by blinking our eyelids. Although there have been a number of prototypes created in the past, most of them lack originality or are not user-friendly. The project's objective is to develop a tiny, user-friendly ocular controlling webcam-based home automation system that can power electrical equipment in the house. This will also save energy usage and enable a patient who is disabled to operate the fans and lights without assistance. The setup uses a webcam which is programmed using AI technology to trace the blink count. The blink count is transferred to both the appliances through Wi-fi connection in which it checks for its compatible programmed values and the respective appliance is controlled by the relay module accordingly. It is to be discerned that our innovation provides a greater enhancement in the life of paralytic and also ensures a higher accuracy rate when compared with the existing devices.
