About

Tara Preeth M is a researcher focused on assistive technology and human-computer interaction, with a particular emphasis on developing accessible solutions for individuals with disabilities. Her most cited work, "Control of Wheelchair by Eye Movement Using Image Processing" (2020), addresses a critical need highlighted by WHO and World Bank reports that 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability. This paper explores how power-driven wheelchairs with intelligent navigation systems can empower severely handicapped individuals, using eye-tracking and image processing to enable hands-free control. While her citation count is still growing—with 2 citations for this key paper—her contribution lies in bridging computer vision and rehabilitation engineering to improve mobility and independence for those with physical impairments. Tara’s research aligns with the broader goal of integrating advanced technology into everyday assistive devices, making her work relevant to students and researchers in biomedical engineering, computer science, and disability studies. Her focus on practical, human-centered design highlights the potential of image processing to transform lives through accessible innovation.
