This paper presents an Answer Set Programming (ASP)-based framework for medical appointment scheduling, aimed at improving efficiency, reducing administrative overhead, and enhancing patient-centered care. The framework personalizes scheduling for vulnerable populations by integrating Blueprint Personas. It ensures real-time availability updates, conflict-free assignments, and seamless interoperability with existing healthcare platforms by centralizing planning operations within an ASP logic model.
