Abstract: The main aim of this work is the measurement of the exact frequency of hand tremor. Tremors cause the bending of fingers constantly, this bending is determined using the flex sensors whose resistance changes according to the bend. The linear acceleration is measured by accelerometer based on vibration and a gyroscope is intended to determine angular position based on the principle rigidity of space. The data from these components is used to precisely measure the position and vibration of the hand caused due to tremor. A low-cost arduino pro mini microcontroller with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module is used to calculate the frequency from the raw flex sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope data. This frequency information is sent to the cloud so that doctors can monitor the condition of the patient using web application. The web application is developed using HTML in the front end,PHP in the back end and MySql as a database.
Keywords: Arduino, Flex Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, ESP 12E Wi-Fi Module, PHP, HTML, MySQL.
