Abstract
According to the WHO, 16% of the global population lives with a disability, with 200 million facing significant functional challenges. Rising chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and mental disorders make disability a growing global health and human rights concern. The UN's SDGs for inclusive growth face setbacks as many individuals encounter physical, mental, social, and economic barriers. The UN Disability Inclusion Strategy highlights the indivisibility of human rights. This study examines smart technologies and digital strategies to improve accessibility and quality of life for persons with disabilities. Conducted in Dehradun District, it assesses 53 individuals with disabilities to evaluate how digital technology enhances their lives. Data analysis is carried out using SPSS. The study aims to identify obstacles, assess current solutions, and propose innovative, user-centric smart technologies to bridge the disability divide, ensuring better social and economic inclusion.
