Desarrollo de prototipo, bastón para la asistencia de personas débiles visuales

Abstract

Information technologies have become necessary in the area of the health sector, with the new trends that are emerging, this work aims to develop a prototype of a smart cane to improve travel, allowing to avoid obstacles that obstruct the path of visually impaired people. The methodology used was traditional through the stages of analysis, planning, design, development, testing and implementation, for the development of this prototype the Arduino IDE software was used, using as controller an ARDUINO ONE, for the control of distances, it was used HC-04 ultrasonic sensors, transmitting signals through the vibrating motor and a buzzer that emits a different sound depending on the programming of the ultrasonic sensors. All these connections were linked to an experimental table called Protoboard, which are directed to the ARDUINO ONE board. The final product allowed to have a cane that was tested with, people with visual weakness, the functionality was measured with a questionnaire that evaluated the mobility function and the results were greater than 80% of acceptance
