Virtual care taker-voice guider for patients/old aged

persons/dumb persons
 Abstract:

In this busy and competition world we cannot monitoring our elders (aged people) and patients
continuously even though we have so much of love on them .whenever any person is unable
speak then this system helps them to play some basic and emergency voice messages according
to user needs. These voices will be played through speaker so that nurse or their care takers in
home can come and help them immediately. By using advancements in present technologies we
are developing this project to save time and user friendly system.

  The user has to press the respective button to get his service, and then the predefined message
will be played through speaker. The user can use normal switches or touch screen or remote or
Android phone. Now a day’s so many useful technologies are coming out to make our life style
more comfort, luxurious and secure.
Especially in mobile field so many application are being developed to give us more information
and entertainment .this project is designed with combination of two latest and most demanding
technologies that are Android and Embedded Systems
Android is a Linux based operating system designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices
and it is a open source .There are so many applications are already developed on Android and
many applications are being developed at free of cost for its users .
We can also develop our own customized applications with free of cost or with minimum cost
according to our requirements.
In this project we will create an application to play some basic voices through speaker which is
present in our room. Whenever we operate this application, it sends commands to our controlling
system through blue tooth.
At controlling system side we have Bluetooth module, micro controller, audio amplifier, and
speaker. Whenever this blue tooth module receives command from android application then it
transfers this command to micro controller. Micro controller will play respective voice depends
upon the command it received. To play the voice messages we do not need any separate voice
module because we can play that voice from ARM7 LPC2148 micro controller directly by
saving pre recorded voice message in micro controller’s memory in the form of binary
This is very comfort and can operate easily just by touching the respective keys on mobile
application. With this project, the user also can control appliances in his premises. And we can
use normal switches or touch screen or simple TV remote also depends upon user budget.
