Menstrual cramps are among the most common issues faced by adolescents, significantly affecting the quality of life for females. Aim: This study aimed to determine the determine the impact of the artificial intelligence-powered Be My Eyes app on menstrual cramps knowledge and practices among visually impaired female adolescents. Design: A quasi-experimental design (pre/post-test) was employed. Setting: The research was carried out at Al Noor School for visually impaired students located in Sohag City. Sample: A convenient sample of 100 visually impaired female adolescents was selected. Tools: The study utilized three instruments: a structured interviewing questionnaire, that consists of two parts; part (1) visually impaired female adolescents' personal data; part (2) visually impaired female adolescents' menstrual history; a knowledge assessment tool concerning menstrual cramps using the Be My Eyes app, and an observational checklist to evaluate the practices of visually impaired female adolescents concerning menstrual cramps using the Be My Eyes app. Results: The results indicated a highly statistically significant difference in the total knowledge and practice scores regarding menstrual cramps among visually impaired females pre and post utilizing the Be My Eyes application. The total knowledge and practice of adolescent females showed improvement in the post-test compared to the pre-test.
