Some of them try to use walker that have higher risk of losing balance and fall that can cause injuries. In order to avoid these cases, this smart stand up wheelchair can be used. This system is equipped with gear DC Brush motor, linear actuator, battery, wheelchair, Arduino ATMEGA2560 as the microcontroller and ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module as Internet of Thing (IoT). The user can control the wheelchair to achieve their desire movement. User can move the wheelchair by using their phone with the Blynk apps. They can toggle the joystick display in the Blynk to move forward, backward, left and right position. In addition, to make the wheelchair rise, user can press the up button in the Blynk app and to come back to the same position they can press the down button.
