Gestos-Up: Dispositivo com Definições “Internet Of Things” por meio de Gestos para Pessoas Portadoras de Paraplegia nos Membros Inferiores

Abstract

The Gestos-UP product is a portable technology designed to assist people with disabilities - PwD, which limits paraplegia of the lower limbs. It aims to help people who need to control electronic devices remotely. The justification for the proposal lies in data from IBGE and non-governmental entities that present information that supports the product and its importance in proving comfort and establishing dignity and independence with greater accessibility for users in multiple spaces. The principles applied to the product were based on industry 4.0 paradigms through some of its pillars. These paradigms facilitate the integration of other devices that were improved in the materialization of the Gestos-UP product idea and its assistive technology characteristics that provide or expand functional abilities of people with disabilities. In this context, agile methodologies were formulated for product development combined with the concepts of the Quality Function Deployment-QFD method, for data collection and testing, both applied using experimental and descriptive methods through a prototype and closed questionnaires, mediated by modeling and code structuring techniques, following known standards in the market and on the optics in the development of industrial products.
