Around 1% of the world's population, or around 8 million people, has a mobility impairment, according to WHO disability statistics. We also know that the old people nearby are unable to move on their own. Many hospitalized patients who are conscious can move their hand with assistance but are unable to move on their own. We are also aware that patients, the elderly, and people with disabilities require real-time health monitoring. As a result, the goal of this article is to create a smart wheelchair that can be operated with a single hand gesture and that uses an IoT-based real-time health monitoring system to track a variety of health indicators, including blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate. The advantage of this approach is that the person providing care for the wheelchair-user will be able to use a smart phone application to view all of these health indicators as well as their GPS location. It may be simple to take care of oneself when working for a company.
