The device, which is in the form of a hand glove, operates using pressure sensors that send data to the “ESP32 microcontroller”. “This data is then sent to an SD card module, which commands it to play the corresponding audio,” the university explained. According to ATBU, all components of the device were sourced and built from scratch by Habib, making it a truly “homemade” invention

Habib’s invention aims to provide people with speech impairments a voice and a means to communicate. “With the NHED Smart Glove, we are not just building a device; we are also restoring dignity and bridging the gaps in communication,” Habib said. The university described the NHED Smart Glove as a “cheap yet advanced alternative” for people with speech impairments, highlighting its potential to make a significant impact on their lives.
