Smart Hajj Bracelet and AI Enhance Safety at This Year's Pilgrimage

This year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia is seeing a significant improvement in pilgrim safety thanks to the implementation of new technologies. Al Arabiya reporter Ali Al Sharif, reporting from Mina, highlighted the use of a "smart Hajj bracelet" and AI-powered systems to manage pilgrim flow and address potential health risks. "In previous years," Al Sharif explains, "we saw many incidents of falls and heatstroke. This year, the planned deployment and use of AI has significantly reduced these issues." The new systems provide real-time tracking and analysis, enabling authorities to respond quickly to any emergencies. This technological approach not only improves safety but also enhances the overall efficiency of the pilgrimage, ensuring a smoother and safer experience for millions of pilgrims. The successful integration of technology into the Hajj demonstrates Saudi Arabia's commitment to utilizing innovation for the well-being of all participants.
