(ANSA) - Technology has not just revolutionized the
electronics market, it has also became an instrument of social
transformation and, above all, a powerful ally to boost
inclusion and accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
The International Fair of Technology for Rehabilitation,
Inclusion and Accessibility (Reatech) has launched the
'Reackthon', an event organized by Cipa Fiera Milano in Sao
Paulo June 14-16, to try to find new technological solutions for
innovation that leads to social inclusion.
Inspired by the concept of 'hackathons', the event seeks to
stimulate the imagination and creativity of designers,
specialists, health entrepreneurs and professions for the
development of innovative projects in the accessibility area.
The theme of the 'marathon' will be 'technology to assist
people lacking mobility or with reduced mobility'.
The aim is to get participants to create or improve solutions
in areas such as web formats, wearable technology, personal
devices and applications linked to health.
The goal is to achieve functionality that allows for digital
interaction with a person that has a physical, hearing, visual,
mental, or multiple disability, as well as responding to the
needs of the users.
The inclusive space inside the event will provide resources
such as Internet access and volunteer mentors - professionals
and representatives of public bodies - whom the teams will be
able to consult while they work to develop their innovations.
The event will be split into two parts: the first on June 14
and the second on June 15 and 16 for a total of 32 hours.
The jury, made up of five sector professionals, will give
marks to the proposals based on criteria such as innovation,
relevance and ease of use.
Participation in the event is totally free.
Those who are interested can sigh up via an online form
