Abstract

Farmers produce the food needed for human consumption. As the population keeps growing, newer technologies are invented by agricultural scientists for increasing farm productivity. The technologies from research are delivered to the farmers by agricultural extension activity. In India, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and various state universities including, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) are proceeding with continuous research agenda in bringing food security and nutrition security to the entire population, and at the same time improving sustainable livelihood of the farming community. Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) plays the key role in agricultural extension activities in India by propagating agricultural technologies to the grassroot population. Among many modalities, contemporary Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) plays a major role in dissemination of newer farming technologies on improved varieties, agronomic practices, pest and disease control, etc. from laboratories to farm land. The proliferation of mobile phones and Smartphone in the life of people from all walks of life is considered as a technological revolution. The apps in mobile phone along with high speed Internet services have made information available anywhere anytime. This article provides details on mobile apps available in India for agricultural extension activities and 24 x 7 services available for farmers. Mobile apps are many in number, with fragmented data, and information overload with redundant data. The key idea of this paper is to propose a unified platform where all agricultural extension can be promulgated for the benefit of farmers, eliminating the drawback of multiform data across common platforms.

Abstract

Research has shown that Coronaviruses (CoV) are a dangerous virus species that are capable of causing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). The most recent is Coronavirus Infectious Disease (COVID-19) that was first found in Wuhan, in the people's Democratic Republic of China as another new form of pneumonia disease. Since its discovery in late 2019, the number of people infected by this virus, and the number of deaths is on the increase daily going by the reports of the World Health Organization (WHO). For now, there is no substantial solution to the pandemic, however, an important task that is done was creating aggressive awareness among the people to educate them on the symptoms, threat, and prevention of the disease as this would contribute a lot in controlling the spread of the pandemic. Most awareness strategies adopted so far include campaigns, flyers, jingles, advert, messages, etc. These strategies are however challenging to the populace with reading and sighting disabilities. Given the aforementioned, Android-Based Text-to-Speech Enabled Public Awareness Application of COVID-19 using Agile Methodology for Mobile Application Development and Android Studio Version 3.4 was developed to provide public awareness information on the danger, safety, and preventive measures against contact and spread of coronavirus pandemic by translating written messages to audio messages. The developed Application has succeeded in achieving the cardinal objective of the research by providing efficient and effective COVID-19 awareness information to people living with both English reading and sighting disabilities and is, therefore, recommended for use to the general public. It is recommended as further research to translate text to other local indigenous languages.

Abstract

Specially challenged people means they would have different abilities or some sort of disabilities when compared with the average people. With the technology advancement, almost all the impairments are getting addressed by using smart devices. Braille is a method used by visually impaired people to communicate with others. Smartphone apps which get Braille input and convert it into natural language is the most beneficial invention to visually impaired people. But the touchscreen of the existing system is a location-dependent method in which blind people have to place the Braille dot at a specific location. It may be a difficult and tedious process to know the location. The proposed system focuses on position free touchscreen method which would be easy to place dots anywhere on the screen. This is an innovative Braille input method using smartphone. Datasets were trained and tested in three languages such as English, Tamil and Hindi. Then by using deep learning techniques the character is identified and the same is given as audio output. This paper is useful to visually impaired people who want to use smartphone with position free touchscreen method. Thus, the proposed system is a new Android smartphone system which is most effective and useful for visually impaired people.

Abstract

Application with Internet of Things (IoT) have significantly advanced in recent years. Secured healthcare systems to improve human health and wellbeing are potential applications that can be implemented through IoT. A desirable IoT system should be capable of taking care of the patients from all aspects, covering personalized medication, vital signs monitoring, onsite diagnosis and interaction with remote physicians. This paper proposes a solution based on IoT for monitoring patients on a daily basis. The solution will be open platform-based intelligent healthcare system with enhanced connectivity and interoperability for device and service integration. Flexible and wearable bio-medical sensor device enabled by system on-chip voice module helps to reduce the cost of healthcare while simultaneously improving outcomes. The proposed work integrates IoT devices with healthcare services for an improved user experience and better service.

Abstract

Mobile phone has taken an important role in the life of individuals today, both professionally and personally. The goal of this paper is to provide a simple offline Android application which solves the issues faced by the user when the phone is misplaced. Some of the essential details can be accessed from the phone and the only requirement is to send an SMS from any mobile device with the pass code that is set on the guardian Android app. The app works totally in the background. The app will automatically detect the incoming messages and filter it to search for the pass code, and on success, it reads the command and perform the task as per the requirements given by the user.
