Communication between normal people and people with vocal and hearing troubles is a difficult task. The sign language used by these people is not understandable by the common people, so it creates a communication barrier. People who are paralyzed also require assistance regularly. For such people we have proposed Implementation of IOT based Smart assistance gloves for disabled people. The gloves we designed is very simple yet effective when compared to the existing system. With the help of flex sensors, the finger gesture is detected and the corresponding instructions are displayed in the android app with audio output. The proposed system is implemented by Arduino uno and Raspberry pi, where the communication between these two modules is done by wireless serial port module due to its secured data transmission. An alert message will be sent through the GSM module during emergency situation.
