Abstract

Internet of Things is revolutionizing human being daily life with the emerging of a huge number of connected devices. The potential benefits of connected things are limitless especially for persons with disabilities. Indeed, the number of disabled persons in the world today is considerable and their need of special care and adapted solution is a vital need. In this paper an IoT architecture for persons with disabilities is proposed and an IoT system dedicated to the visual impaired persons is implemented ensuring their assistance and security.
