        abstract = {This project is designed for the visually impaired, specially-abled persons, patients as they face challenges in going out without being dependent on anyone. This stick will help blind person by providing a more convenient means of life. This project will have an IR obstacle sensor to sense the any object and a buzzer on the blind person to understand the object is present, an SPO2 sensor to sense the Heartbeat of a blind person, and GPS to know the location of the blind person, a GSM is integrated with GPS which sends SMS regarding location. A flame sensor was used to detect the fire which is integrated with a buzzer that alarms. The prepared prototype is lightweight, user-easy to use, and feasible, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Primary tests ensure its effectiveness in obstacle detection, navigation, and emergency response, it also mentions its potential to significantly improve independence which improves the quality of life for visually impaired individuals..},
