Abstract

In the world there are 1.15 billion people, including adults and children, with some functional diversity; and on the other hand, population aging, which only in Cuba reaches 20%, means that devices are needed to assist them, and systems for their care in health institutions; this has stimulated professionals in the area of electronics to develop devices and systems that support these people; that is why in the work two case studies of prototype designs are presented, which in addition to constituting home automation implementations, help individuals with visual and motor difficulties such as: the intelligent electronic cane, the use of voice commands for electrical drives and data acquisition; all these applications are associated with systems with wireless sensors and Android devices; the smart cane uses ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection and notifies the individual with voice messages; the voice command system for drives uses voice recognition, present in Android devices with an operating system with versions greater than 4.1, to convert voice to text and send a command, through the Bluetooth standard, to a microcontroller to carry out the drive.
