Abstract

Most of the healthcare portals have continued using legacy codes that restrain their 
accessibility and usability. This paper reports on an AI-assisted refactoring engine, 
and how it creates and automatically corrects accessibility problems in the legacy 
front-end code, using natural language processing (NLP). The system was analyzed 
with a healthcare portal that is comparable to the Medicare and Retirement platform 
developed by UnitedHealthcare and managed to fix 81 percent of ARIA and semantic
HTML errors. The findings indicate that AI can have a profound positive impact on 
manual labor and workload decrease, code compliance, and user experience. This 
research paper has proven that the idea of AI-based code refactoring has the potential 
to transform outdated yet useful healthcare systems in a quick and inclusive way.
