Accessify – WeMapp

Challenge: Sarajevo: How to improve the availability of assistive technologies for people with disabilities?

Target Group: People with Disabilities

Accessify is a one-stop shop accessibility platform that transforms the way people with disabilities navigate cities, public spaces, events, and venues. Through AI and community-powered features, Accessify maps obstacles, mobility infrastructure, and accessibility levels, enabling safe, seamless, and personalized movement through urban environments. The CommuniCity pilot aimed to validate the platform in real-world conditions across the urban contexts of Sarajevo.

The pilot’s main objectives were to co-design key features with end users, test usability in live environments, and assess integration potential with event and venue operations. 19 individuals participated in co-creation sessions, including 10 representatives from marginalised groups and 9 event managers. The pilot included semi-structured user interviews, live mapping trials, and event accessibility assessments. The product reached TRL 6, and the pilot validated both the social impact and market demand of the solution, setting the groundwork for future partnerships and deployments.
