N2 - A caregiver has an important role to not only help patients with high levels of disability to move around, but also be aware and manage the patient's state of health. Visual cues on the patient's expression is an especially important source of information on the patient's well-being, especially for those with high levels limitations on cue sending, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. Thus, this paper proposes a system that enables the caregiver to control the movement of the wheelchair while waking alongside the wheelchair where they can also interact with the patient directly. The proposed approach has been validated through experiments.
