Implementation of an Instrumented Crutch with Scalable E-Care Architecture Using IoT

The main objective of this research work is to design a Smart Robotic Crutch with Scalable E-Care Architecture using IoT. The aim of this research is to convert this project into product by which a paralyzed patient can get the comfort feeling while using it and get into this applicable smart feature of this crutch with its scalable e-care architecture. The motive of this work is to support a paralyzed patient to rise up from a wheelchair and give them the opportunity to move without any other help. Many of paralyzed people have a common problem of falling. The aim is to reduce the users falling tendencies with the help of Ultrasonic sensor. The objective of this research work is to help the patient to move freely, actual health monitoring with real time tracking and give them the effective multifunctional smart applications by which they can feel confident while using the crutch. In this paper, the authors are motivated to introduce a crutch that is smart in functionalities. Basically, it is a digital upgrade of manual crutch with its robotics and IoT features. This crutch as a humanitarian project is designed to explore empathy for paralyzed patients in an effective system.
