The scope of automating various amenities has opened ways for solving many healthcare problems and has been adopted in several medical fields. Though hospitals are equipped with devices, patients suffering from acute central nervous system disorders like lateral sclerosis and locked-in syndrome (LIS) need personal assistance to operate these devices. Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electrooculogram (EOG) signals generated from the cognitive and expressive states of the brain can be extensively used for automatizing hospitals. This paper reports early insights on development of a prototype that provides easy integration with the Emotive EEG neuro-headset to monitor and control different domestic devices. These techniques further present us with a novel idea of commercializing automation solutions in healthcare. © Research India Publications.
