Abstract

Sign language is not an option. It is the language of the deaf and dumb 
community. Access to information in this language is not well 
defined; there are barriers that make it difficult to interact and 
communicate with the community. Therefore, they must be supported 
with drawings.
Humans use not only verbal information but also non-verbal cues such 
as facial expressions, graphics, pointing, or symbols. For example sign 
language graphics will promote the development of deaf-mute 
knowledge and interpersonal communication problems in every health 
system; or illustrations to indicate where the pain is and become even 
more important in a health emergency. The deaf and mute community, 
who does not use or use sign language to communicate with hospitals, 
call an ambulance or Tuareg, faces significant obstacles when trying 
to access health services.
The most common disability is the deaf-mute type, which prevents a 
person from listening and speaking. The number of deaf and dumb 
people in the world is constantly increasing and they are closed to 
themselves. Therefore, they do not have ordinary opportunities. They 
have a serious problem communicating with ordinary people in 
society. However, most of the applications available do not focus on 
sign language or recognition. Deaf and dumb people should be 
integrated within the community, helping them communicate with 
people.
