| Sumario: | Nowadays, power wheelchair is one of the most important vehicles for people with physical disabilities
such as paralysis, stroke, handicap and many more. Electric wheelchair which is also called electric
-
power wheelchair or powerchair can be moved by an el
ectrically based power source, regularly motor or
batteries. It is very important to have frequent monitoring battery level because power wheelchair need
sufficient battery level for it to be moved around. Therefore, this project is developed to monitor th
e
battery consumption level and real time battery monitoring. Current sensor is used to measure the
current state of the battery level. In this project, Internet of Things (IoT) concept is applied where sensor
and mobile application is integrated and know
n as BLife. Blife was designed using the visibility of the
system status principles which consist of knowledge is power, appropriate feedback, compel user to
action and communication creates trusts. If the battery is in the lower state, the power wheelcha
ir users
will be informed through mobile application via an indicator informing that it needs to be recharged.
Moreover, the current location of the power wheelchair user is also notified to the users’ caretaker.
Evaluation of Blife were conducted using fu
nctionality and usability testing based on visibility of the
system status technique. Most of the respondents are satisfied and gave positive feedback. This project is
a great contribution to disable people who has limited access to charge battery and to a
lert them on their
battery level status. |
