مستخلص: Motor abilities, communication, and other functions are all negatively impacted by Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system. Motor neuron weakening and tremors ranging from moderate to severe are symptoms of Parkinson's disease. People with Parkinson's disease might benefit from our clever approach, which we present in this research. A toothbrush is one of the most important tools they use every day. Even if they could use the toothbrush, the person with PD would still have trouble using it since they rip their gums when brushing. Patients with PD may benefit from using a toothbrush that stabilises itself. To create this model, one may use a sensor that combines gyroscopes and accelerometers to measure the speed and direction of roll or shaking of the device's handle. Maintaining the toothbrush's horizontal position with the teeth of PD patients is the goal of this configuration. Vibration treatment is also available in addition to this auxiliary equipment. We are using a WiFi Module to store the values of the sensor parameters in the cloud platform, and patients may simply toggle between modes with the provided keypad (Internet of Things).
