Irbid: Lujain Husban, a student at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), presented an innovative idea to enable people with hearing and speech impairments to communicate instantly with emergency services, during her participation in the 2025 Sableh Al-Hassan program.
According to Jordan News Agency, Husban, a student at JUST's Faculty of Pharmacy, shared that her idea involves creating a system integrated with emergency services, allowing individuals with hearing and speech impairments to make live video calls with a trained sign language interpreter. This system is designed to ensure a rapid response in critical situations such as fires, accidents, or medical emergencies.
Husban further explained that the project includes establishing a national database for people with hearing and speech impairments to automatically activate the service for registered individuals. This initiative will be carried out in cooperation with telecommunications companies to provide fast and secure internet connections, ensuring continuous connectivity under all conditions.
She mentioned that JAIP company will oversee the project's implementation stages and its transformation into a real service under the name "SafeSign."
JUST Dean of Student Affairs Majed Masa'deh highlighted the university's commitment to supporting creative and entrepreneurial students. He remarked that Husban's project aligns with the university's vision of empowering youth to use knowledge in the service of humanity and society.
Masa'deh also noted that the university seeks to bridge students with national institutions and strategic partners to turn their ideas into practical, implementable projects. He emphasized that Husban's achievement is a result of a stimulating and integrated academic environment that fosters initiative and social responsibility among young people.
