There are over 27 million (2.7 Crore) people with disabilities out of which 5.4 million or 54 lakhs (54,36,826) have disability in movement in India.The health of people having disabilities and elderly are more in stake than the other people.
Abstract - Pervasive devices are becoming a part of
peoples life daily. Smart devices are not only an aid to peoples life but also play a crucial part of physically challenged and aged people . With an increase in aging population and the financial difficulties of having a full time caregiver for every dependent person at home, the need for safe and independent mobility for them is required. Inorder to help them ,this project acts as a complete module to reduce their dependency on others. The paper deals with a creation of a genius wheel chair called carevan , It consist of a wheel chair which converts itself to bed for increasing their comfort ,A Tabo-kit fitted to the right of the wheel chair to inform them about their medicine and make sure they have it and inform concerned people about it and insulin injector on the left to get their insulin injection in time.It is designed with a motive of increasing both their comfort and locomotion and also helps them to keep track of their health.
Previous works show interest in mostly on the locomotion part which mainly concentrates on the movemental comfort of the person on it ,it especially has certain features like fall detection accident preventions thatcan be refered from [3],[5],[6] and [7] which are now getting implemented in wheelchairs, The various works on semi automatic visions assistance can be studied in [2],[8],[12]. one one of the best methods of implementing a smart wheelchair is proposed in [1] but all these focus only on the movemental benefits of the user and not their health. The proposed wheelchair (carevan) also is navigated by a touch screen android device which is connected via a bluetooth configuration . For certain people it can also be navigated using a voice control . The motors are driven by s motor driver circuit , the locomotion part is now over . the best part of carevan is that it helps not only in the locomotion but it also helps in maintaining track of their health .

1.INTRODUCTION: Smart devices are playing a vital role in our daily life. With developing technologies and inventions for aged and physically challenged people the genius wheel chair researches are getting rapidly popular. The wheelchair has been a hot topic of research since the last decade but there is no considerable output in the markets and those that fit in the definition of smart wheelchairs are not affordable by common people. Due to the advancement of the embedded system it has been highly efficient in satisfying the needs of the physically challenged and elderly people. Different wheel chairs are available to solve different kinds of problems of people. Today 524 million people are aged i.e. 8 percent of the total world population. By 2050, this number is expected to about 1.5 billion, representing 16 percent of the world's population, In that more than 20% of that aged population will have problem in movement. According to the statistics

The first thing the people on the wheelchair is their comfort so in those cases our carevan on the press of a button converts itself in to a bed and back to a chair when required so their comfort is increased, Secondly the other main concern of the people on the wheelchair is taking their medicines on time , so in the right side of our carevan there is a TABO-KIT which consist of their tablets so when the time arives it produces a buzzer sound until the medicine has been taken ,and the best part is it also displays the remaining count on the lcd. Thirdly the carevan consist of an insulin injector in the left which works on a threading mechanism , When the time arives it produces a beep sound then it comes forward and checks whether human is there with an Ir sensor and then inserts the insulin according to the particular level. So maintaining not only the movement but
