📈 Sri Lanka's Rihazudin i³ Drives Tech Accessibility Innovations
• Overview: Sri Lankan author Mohamed Rihazudin Razik has launched Rihazudin i³ (Idea · Innovate · Implement) to champion inclusive digital solutions. Based on personal rehabilitation experience following brain tumor surgeries, the initiative advocates for human-centered technology that adapts to diverse user needs rather than forcing users to adapt to rigid designs. • Core Innovations: • ICT/BPM & EdTech Focus: Developing an accessible digital reading platform featuring customizable text sizes, contrast options, line-focus tools, and text-to-speech features designed to support users with visual impairments, dyslexia, and cognitive fatigue. • Broader Sector Applications: Expanding adaptive technology frameworks across education, healthcare, and small businesses to boost independence, workforce integration, and workplace accessibility for recovering employees and aging populations. • Upcoming Exhibition: The initiative and prototype platform will be showcased at INFOTEL 2026 (Nov 6–8, BMICH, Colombo, Hall B, Stall 20) to connect with developers, healthcare specialists, and business leaders.
