    As the global population ages, the demand for innovative mobility solutions for individuals with disabilities and limited mobility continues to grow. And as the genocide in Gaza extends so it leaves huge casualties, especially among children. Smart wheelchair is a mobility aid aim to enhance the independence and comfort of disables, the children and elderly and others with physical disabilities who are too weak to move around independently. The aim of this project is to create and apply a smart wheelchair with health monitoring and alerts for children whose with physical disabilities. This project is important because it provides the safety and mobility needs of children with disabilities or health conditions that limit their independent safety movement, improve user safety by integrating sensors that detect obstacles, and potential overturning. It also helps in monitoring the health by providing continuous real-time monitoring of the user’s heart rate and oxygen percent to alert caregivers of any irregularities. In addition, it enables caregivers to receive real-time updates on the user’s health and safety status on web page via Wi-Fi, improving response times during emergencies. It also promotes user comfort by allowing the users to control the wheelchair comfortably through a joystick while automating hazard detection. The purpose of this project is to develop a smart wheelchair system that combines integrated sensors for enhanced safety and monitoring with contemporary control capabilities. a joystick to operate and facilitate wheelchair mobility. The automated moving and avoiding the obstacles depend on take the continuous reading from all ultrasonic sensors around the wheelchair and then apply the algorithms on this data to decided which is the next destination moving forward or changing direction. Additionally, the system's sensors which monitor the user's vital signs and include an oxygen percent and heart rate sensor provide real-time health data. A weight sensor is incorporated into the system to track whether the user is seated. Due to this, the user's seating status can be accurately detected based on the pressure that is applied. A gyroscope is positioned to detect any tilt or possible overturning of the wheelchair in order to prevent accidents. All of the sensor data is sent over Wi-Fi to a web page on mobile phone or PCs so that caretakers or medical experts can remotely check on the user's condition. Through enhanced user safety and health monitoring, this smart wheelchair offers a comprehensive solution for individuals with mobility issues. Although smart wheelchairs have been attempted before, this idea offers a more complete integration of health monitoring and safety functions. Most comparable apps concentrate on either mobility or health monitoring on their own. For instance, although some smart wheelchairs on the market today may include obstacle detection or joystick control, our concept adds real-time health monitoring to provide consumers with a complete solution.
