Abstract
The smart assistive accident free wheel chair system is designed to give a chance for paralyzed patients to move freely within their surroundings. Like the case of any other automated wheelchair, the patient will not exert any effort to move the chair. In the proposed design, the patient will control his chair by simple verbal commands being analyzed by a built-in speech recognition system. Moreover, several additional features are implemented such as heart rate and temperature measurement systems in addition to accident control and obstacle detection systems. All these will be inserted in a webpage in addition to a mobile application to continuously monitor the patient´s current status. Therefore, the designed wheelchair supports disabled people with secure mobility in addition to continuous vital signs monitoring.
