Abstract

This paper proposes a design of a complete system to identify weak grip strength that is caused by multiple factors like ageing, diseases, or accidents. This paper presents a grip measurement system that comprises of force sensing resistor and flex sensor to evaluate the condition of the hand. The system is tested by gripping a pencil and a cylindrical object using the glove, to determine the condition of the hand. Force sensitive resistor (FSR) evaluates the force applied by the different parts of the palm on the object being grasped. Flex sensor evaluates the bending of the fingers and thumb. The data from the sensors is then compared with existing data to evaluate the state of the hand. The data from the sensors is stored on the personal computer (PC) through serial communication. A model is trained using the data from the sensors, which determine if the grip strength of the user is weak or strong. The model is also trained to differentiate between two modes that are pen mode and object mode. The model achieved an accuracy of 90.8 percent using support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. This glove can be deployed in medical centers to assist in grip strength measurement.

Abstract

Loss of the capability to talk or hear applies psychological and social effects on the affected individuals due to the absence of appropriate interaction. Sign Language is used by such individuals to assist them in communicating with each other. The paper aims to report details of various aspects of wearable healthcare technologies designed in recent years based on the aim of the study, the types of technologies being used, accuracy of the system designed, data collection and storage methods, technology used to accomplish the task, limitations and future research suggested for the study. The aim of the study is to compare the differences between the papers. There is also comparison of technology used to determine which wearable device is better, which is also done with the help of accuracy. The limitations and future research help in determining how the wearable devices can be improved. A systematic review was performed based on a search of the literature. A total of 23 articles were retrieved. The articles are study and design of various wearable devices, mainly the glove-based device, to help you learn the sign language.
