These gloves use flex sensors and Arduino boards to detect hand movements, which are transmitted via LoRa wireless communication to control electrical loads. The design of the gloves prioritizes comfort and ease of wear, with flex sensors strategically placed throughout. Once the flex sensors detect hand movements, they transmit the data to the Arduino board, which processes and transmits it to a receiver to control electrical loads like LED lights or motors. Safety features have been implemented to prevent accidental activation of electrical loads. This project can potentially expand beyond electrical load control, such as data collection or communication between the user and caregiver.

1. INTRODUCTION Assistive technologies have a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. For people with mobility impairments, controlling electrical loads through manual dexterity can be a significant challenge. To address this issue, we are developing LORA-based smart gloves that use Arduino and flex sensors to control electrical loads for disabled individuals. The gloves are designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and easy to wear, with flex sensors placed on various points on the glove to detect hand movements. The Arduino board processes the sensor data, which is then transmitted over LoRa to a receiver. The received data is then used to control electrical loads, such as LED lights or motors, with safety features incorporated to prevent accidental activation of the loads. By providing a reliable and user-friendly assistive technology solution, this project has the potential to improve the independence and quality of life of individuals with mobility impairments. Daily tasks requiring manual dexterity can be challenging for individuals with mobility impairments. While assistive technologies can aid in overcoming these challenges, current technologies often have limitations that limit their adoption, such as being bulky or complex to use.
