DIFFICULTIESWhen it comes to accessibility, we can notice that Brazil does not have properly structured streets and public establishments are not ready to welcome disabled people.

With this in mind, we created EasyChair, an app that will show mapped streets and establishments for disabled, pointing ramps and accessible locations.

SOLUTION

WHICH WAY TO GO?

Our application will drive the wheelchair users in a more viable way, showing the best sidewalks and pointing the closest ramps and the ones with the right degree of slope.

WHERE TO GO?

EasyChair came with another essential function: to point out the various types of licensed establishments to welcome these

people.

How can EasyChair generate positive changes?

What many leaders fail to convey is that, being rated by users, there will be preferences for establishments that can welcome disabled people. In this way, smart businessmen will be taken to invest in disabled access in their establishments.

ACCESSIBILITY CONSUMERS

On competition in the market, there is only one application throughout Brazil:

The number of influential people with physical disabilities, the relevant problems in urban mobility are sufficient reasons to make EasyChair a useful tool inicially, and later, indispensable in the hands of Brazilian wheelchair users.
