Smart Eye Blinking System for Paralysis Patients

  • Abstract:
  • This project presents a Smart Eye Blinking System designed to assist paralysis patients who have lost voluntary muscle control and speech, enabling them to communicate their needs effectively and independently. The system utilizes an infrared (IR) eye blink sensor to detect voluntary eye movements. The detected signal is processed by an ESP32 microcontroller, which converts predefined blink patterns into meaningful commands. These commands trigger actions such as displaying a specific message on an LCD screen or activating a buzzer to alert caregivers. The system is designed to differentiate between natural and intentional blinks to minimize false signals, ensuring reliable communication. This technology provides a cost-effective, portable, and user-friendly solution for home and hospital care, enhancing patient autonomy, reducing caregiver dependency, and improving overall quality of life.
