        abstract = {Walking sticks are commonly used for various reasons, often related to mobility, balance, or health conditions. It is mostly used when there is joint pain, post-surgery recovery, accidental injury, visual impairment, weakness, fatigue, age related decline, etc.This smart walking stick is a mobility tool that helps the elderly and disabled live more independently and safely. This gadget integrates several sensors for real-time environmental and health monitoring by taking advantage of the Arduino Uno microcontroller's capabilities. The main parts are the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, which finds obstructions in the way of the user; the MAX30100 pulse oximeter, which keeps track of blood oxygen levels and heart rate; the IR flame sensor, which finds fire hazards; and the AO-03 atmosphere oxygen sensor, which makes sure there is enough oxygen in the surrounding air.While a piezoelectric buzzer produces audio warnings in the event of crucial conditions like obstacle recognition, abnormal health readings, fire threats, or low oxygen levels, a 12x6 LCD display gives visual feedback by presenting sensor readings and alerts. The walking stick is a useful instrument for increasing mobility and solving important environmental and health safety issues because of its array of sensors. The project shows how to develop a useful and dependable assistive gadget using readily available, reasonably priced technologies. Through constant monitoring of the user's environment and physical state, the smart walking stick greatly enhances user confidence and freedom by averting accidents and medical catastrophes.},
