About

Abhilasha Chougule is a researcher focused on assistive technology and human-computer interaction, with a particular emphasis on improving communication for individuals with disabilities. Her most cited work, "Smart Glove for Hearing-Impaired" (2019, 12 citations), addresses the critical challenge faced by the 2.78% of India’s population who are deaf or deaf-mute. This innovative project translates sign language into audible speech or text using sensor-equipped gloves, bridging the communication gap between the hearing-impaired and the general public. By leveraging gesture recognition and embedded systems, Chougule’s contribution offers a practical, low-cost solution to enhance social inclusion and accessibility. Her research underscores the potential of wearable technology to empower marginalized communities, making her work both socially impactful and technically relevant. While her citation count reflects a growing interest in this niche, her dedication to developing intuitive interfaces for non-verbal communication positions her as a promising voice in assistive engineering. Chougule’s efforts exemplify how engineering can directly address real-world barriers, inspiring further innovation in inclusive design.
