Abstract

The main aim of the system is to provide a solution for the speaking disability of the motor neurone diseases (MND) patients and also for the patients those who have been affected by one side paralysis due to stroke (Cerebrovascular accident). This system will enable them to express their thoughts to the people surrounding them. Already there are a lot of solutions exist to assist for patients suffering from MND and paralysis but they are very expensive. The proposed prototype will be cost effective. It consists of sensor to detect the cheek muscle movement, wireless transceiver unit, microcontroller and a software keyboard.
