  • Abstract:
  • This paper introduces an approach to enhance communication for individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Scle- rosis (ALS) by utilizing infrared (IR) sensors to detect eye blinks and converting them into Morse code. The proposed system aims to provide an alternative means of communication by capitalizing on the natural ability of ALS patients to control their eye movements. By using IR sensors, the system can differentiate between short blinks (dots) and long blinks (dashes) based on the duration of the blink. Morse code, a widely recognized communication method, is then used to encode these blinks into meaningful messages. Short blinks are interpreted as dots (’.’) while long blinks are interpreted as dashes (’-’). These dots and dashes are subsequently translated into text characters following Morse code conventions. By converting blinks into text characters, the system offers an intuitive way for ALS patients to communicate, thereby improving accessibility and quality of life. This system also allows patients to efficiently express their immediate needs or discomfort using simple eye movements by choosing frequently used phrases. Additionally, the system incorporates text-to-audio conversion to enhance simplicity and accessibility. Experimental validation confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of the system, underscoring its potential as an assistive technology for individuals with ALS.
