| Abstract | ||
| Nowadays, the deaf and dumb category represents many people in our society. Sign language is the main way to communicate with the deaf and dumb, but most of the normal people have no ideas about this language. For this reason, there is an increasing need to find alternative solutions to communicate with them. We can suggest three different ways to help the deaf and mute to enjoy a better and easier life. First, LIFE BEATS helps deaf and mute people use the app during health emergencies and accidents. Secondly, the "Keyboard for Deaf" feature supports design language images and symbols in the keyboard as a different feature for graphics and graphic designs. Finally, helping the doctor and health units to understand the patient and the injured easily that can help the deaf to understand all the information explain the location of the pain. Deaf and mute people mainly rely on sign language to send or receive information from or to others around them. As is known, sign language uses hand gestures, facial expressions, and hand movements to communicate with others. It was difficult to know these expressions to the audience which caused a great problem for the deaf and dumb to convey their thoughts or thoughts to others. Nowadays, there are alternative solutions that can help these important groups of people to give them more confidence when communicating with others. The main objective of this work is to propose new ideas or techniques that use modern technologies in various fields to support the deaf and dumb. LIFE BEATS: Suggested Service: The main idea is to integrate or add a new feature to the App's website about protection and health awareness. All menus, information, inquiries and menus are written in either English or Arabic. For this reason, a person who is deaf or mute cannot do anything about himself or initiate any transaction or request any service by himself, always needing help from others to perform such services. Because there is a large group of deaf, dumb, or hard of hearing people who lack understanding of complete Arabic sentences and the way sentences are formed, so we made sure to make the LIFE BEATS application and its importance to help them report any accident by adding a symbol next to each field by clicking on it, a drawing appears that translates each field into sign language. | ||
