What it does
Assist Parkinson's patients to have normal conversations by providing real-time feedback to increase their voice loudness and clarity. The device monitors the user's voice loudness and compares it with the noise level of the surroundings and intimates the user with the help of vibration to maintain their voice in the optimum loudness level
How I built it
We used Arduino mega to compare the signals of 2 microphones. One for recording the user's voice loudness and another to monitor the surrounding noise when the user's voice is found to be too low or too high than appropriate loudness for the scenario the device intimates the user with the help of vibrotactile feedback.
Challenges I ran into
The microphone sensitivity was too low for our application and we faced difficulties in finding a quiet place to tune the microphone and simulate the required white noise for testing the device.
