## Overview

SmartGlove combines wearable gesture communication with a caregiver healthcare platform. The main path is glove sensor readings over Bluetooth to the browser, where gestures become text and speech; alerts and vitals can also reach the server for caregiver escalation. The backend additionally supports authentication, AI assistance, prescription analysis, and medicine adherence. Browser and server excerpts support the principal communication and alert flow; some feature wiring is documented in the README but its client implementation was not sampled.

Main entry points: [`server.js`](https://github.com/darshan0001-top/smartglove/blob/main/server.js) (Express server), [`services/notificationService.js`](https://github.com/darshan0001-top/smartglove/blob/main/services/notificationService.js) (Alert delivery), [`routes/medicineRoutes.js`](https://github.com/darshan0001-top/smartglove/blob/main/routes/medicineRoutes.js) (Medicine adherence), [`preview.jsx`](https://github.com/darshan0001-top/smartglove/blob/main/preview.jsx) (Care dashboard)
