About The Project

No solution comes with product first in mind. Here, we present our findings and thought processes that lead us to our solution.

• Current products (e.g. Google Maps, Apple Maps):
  • Too complicated, typically cluttered with too many features
  • Offer too many options for routes
  • Do not tailor routes according to common challenges faced by PWIDs
  • Do not have step-by-step guides in commute
• The app should provide clear and concise instructions, and use visual aids to supplement audio instructions.
• The app should also have safety features built-in, such as the ability to share the user's location with their caregiver or call their caregiver in an emergency.
• As each person is unique, the app should be developed in collaboration with neurodivergent individuals to ensure accessibility and usability.
