Desarrollo de dispositivo para alertar en emergencias e indicar la presencia de visitantes, a personas con sordoceguera

Abstract

Deafblindness is one of the least known disabilities in Colombia and it generates difficulties in communication, mobility and access to information. In this context, we present a proposal which seeks contribute socially with a device that can inform to a deafblind person through different vibration intensities, when there is an emergency situation and when the local doorbell is activated. The device consists of a base station and a portable unit. At the base, the process of intersection and classification of the doorbell signal and alarm signal is carried out, and also the transmission of the data. In the portable unit the data is received and according to the information, the vibration is produced. The project is carried out with the support of the Colombian Association of Deafblind people SURCOE, where the acceptance test plans of the device have been made.
