A mobile application with a barrier-free map to facilitate wheelchair users to better integrate into society
The centrepiece of the venture is an app specially designed to serve the needs of wheelchair users. It feeds information about barrier-free facilities in shopping malls in Hong Kong to their mobile devices. Information about the locality of facilities and barrier-free routes will be collected from wheelchair users and volunteers to enrich the database.
The mobile app will be provided free of charge. It will encourage persons with disabilities (PWDs) to better engage in social life and enjoy service and entertainment just as other citizens do.
Whilst the major beneficiaries of the app will be PWDs specifically wheelchair users, it will also be a welcomed assistance for elderly and parents with strollers.
