Wearable Glove – Smart Communication Device

EFY Tested DIY

This proposed prototype works by wearing the glove and either touching a specific finger with the thumb or pressing a special switch. This action triggers a bell (buzzer) to ring automatically for 5 seconds, alerting others that assistance is needed.

This is a versatile smart communication device that simplifies assistance requests in hospitals, offices, and restaurants. Powered by Arduino and RF modules, it triggers alerts and displays messages on an LCD screen.

Additionally, the name of the requested item is displayed on the LCD screen for 10 seconds. This device has applications across various fields, including hospitals, offices, and even restaurants.

In a hospital, a caretaker assists patients with daily tasks, such as administering medicine, feeding meals, and walking. Often, an elderly patient may struggle to communicate their needs due to difficulty in expressing themselves due to illness or weakness. This device solves that issue by allowing patients to notify caretakers easily.

For mute patients, communication challenges can be even greater. In such cases, this device provides an effective solution, enabling patients to communicate their needs without verbal expression.

In office settings, during general meetings, ordering refreshments like tea, coffee, or snacks usually requires ringing a bell and waiting for an attendant. This process can cause delays and interruptions. With this device, orders can be placed quickly and discreetly, avoiding disruptions during meetings and saving time.

In restaurants, the device proves equally useful. With high customer volumes, waiters may struggle to serve customers promptly. When installed at tables, this system can allow customers to place orders directly to the manager or the kitchen.

The list of components required is detailed in the table above.
