There are many aged people in our surrounding. They can’t walk without the help of other people of the society. One has to ask guidance to reach their destination. They have to face more struggles in their daily life. Today technology is growing to a greater extent, however there is no cost-effective device for aged people. The history of walking stick can be traced far back when the simple wooden stick was used by human for support. James Biggs of Bristol claims to have invented the walking stick in the year 1921. For an aged person it becomes difficult to do his/her day-to-day activities, therefore Smart walking stick can help people in moving and allowing them to perform their work easily, during walking in the street, which makes it very dangerous. GPS is used which tells the user about his current location. Keywords: Fall detector, Stick, GPS, GSM Module, LDR sensor, Torch.
