Abstract
We have developed a software tool to help and assist ALS patients in their various non-locomotive day-to-day activities. We want to reduce their depression and anxiety by making them more independent. Our complete application uses the user’s iris movement direction and eyes. Using them it can use most of the features available in our application. Our application continuously monitors the patient to provide him with immediate medical attention whenever needed as of during a paralysis attack ...
