Abstract

Access to adequate healthcare is critical for everyone, but people with disabilities often face considerable challenges in receiving reliable and timely medical treatment. The Vision 2030 plan in Saudi Arabia intends to change the healthcare system by incorporating new technologies that increase accessibility, efficiency, and service delivery. However, current healthcare systems continue to suffer from delays, inefficient data processing, and accessibility concerns, especially for the visually impaired. This study proposes a more decentralized healthcare system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models to improve healthcare services for individuals with disabilities. The system achieves real-time data processing, reduces latency, and enhances decision-making accuracy by combining federated learning and zero-shot architectures. Furthermore, smart technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and natural language processing (NLP) provide seamless data collection and analysis, allowing healthcare practitioners to provide prompt and personalized treatment. The suggested solution solves crucial issues such as inefficiencies in data processing, delays in obtaining medical information, and limits in current healthcare processes. This platform improves impaired people's freedom and mobility by delivering remote healthcare solutions using AI-powered diagnostics and real-time monitoring. This study contributes to a more inclusive and efficient healthcare system in Saudi Arabia by bridging the gap between technology and accessibility, which aligns with the Vision 2030 objective of providing fair healthcare services to everyone.
