The Challenge

What we needed to solve

Pedestrian crossing buttons and automatic doors assume everyone can see them, reach them, and press them quickly. For wheelchair users, people with visual impairments, or anyone with limited mobility, every crossing becomes a small crisis.

The Solution

How we approached it

  • Mobile app that detects nearby Button-enabled crossings and doors
  • One tap to activate—no need to locate or reach physical buttons
  • Automatic mode: crossings activate as you approach
  • Single codebase for iOS and Android, keeping costs low for a social enterprise

The Results

What we achieved

  • Users crossing streets independently for the first time
  • Anxiety at busy intersections replaced with confidence
  • Parents of disabled children reporting fewer daily barriers
  • Platform proven across multiple UK local authorities
