A visually impaired individual loses vision when a part of the eye or the brain that processes images becomes diseased or damaged. Visually impaired people face many problems during their daily activities such as walking around places, identifying objects, identifying people's feelings or emotions, detecting obstacles, etc. Several solutions work around these problems. The area that needs the attention of researchers is helping the visually impaired people in reading the medical reports, a product's name, and a device's reading. To make them independent, this paper proposed a medical assistant “M.A.V.I” which helps a visually impaired person to read medical blood reports, products, normal reports, and LED screens of inaccessible medical devices like a glucose monitor, BP machine, and weighing machine, etc.
