Description
AbdelMajeed Ahmed Hendy and three co-authors ask what smart assistive technology could do for the reproductive health access of women with disabilities in Egypt, in this 2026 study. They interviewed eight never-married women aged fifteen to forty-nine in Minya Governorate, half with physical disabilities and half with visual ones, and read the answers through a SWOT lens.
The women saw real promise in smart wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, screen readers, smart canes, and AI glasses. Those with physical disabilities stressed mobility; those with visual disabilities stressed navigation and information. Against that stood high costs, scarce maintenance, privacy worries, inaccessible buildings, undertrained providers, money dependence, and stigma. The authors stress the tools can open doors to care and informed choices but do not by themselves deliver rights or better outcomes. Their findings come from a small, local sample and should not be stretched too far.
