SupportSync: Empowering People with Disabilities

Meet Kamila

Kamila is a 21-year-old university student in her 4th year, living with a physical disability that affects her mobility. Relying on crutches to get around, Kamila faces multiple challenges every day, from navigating the uneven terrains of her university campus in Kenya to feeling isolated from her peers due to mobility restrictions.

The Problem:

Kamila often finds herself struggling to access emergency services in case of medical issues. Due to her limited mobility, she cannot easily visit medical centers or engage in face-to-face consultations. On top of that, staying connected with friends and fellow students is difficult as she cannot always participate in social events. Living in a third-world country where disability support is often underfunded, she finds it hard to feel included, safe, and supported.

The Solution:

Our platform provides Kamila with a lifeline to the support she needs:

• Blog and Chat Coverage: Kamila can easily interact with her peers and other disabled individuals through our real-time chat feature, breaking down the barriers of isolation. She can participate in meaningful conversations, share her experiences, and learn from others in similar situations.
• USSD Emergency Service: In case of medical emergencies, Kamila can instantly access emergency services through a simple USSD code, ensuring that help is just a few button presses away, even when she doesn't have access to the internet.
• Expert Advice: Kamila can seek medical and psychological advice from certified professionals and AI-driven assistants without needing to visit medical centers physically. This helps her manage her condition and maintain her well-being while balancing her academic life.
• Google Locator with IoT: Kamila's family can use our locator feature to track her movements and ensure her safety as she navigates her university or travels to different locations. If Kamila gets stuck somewhere, her family can immediately know her location and provide assistance.

Thanks to this platform, Kamila can now focus on her studies, stay connected with friends, and feel safe knowing that help is always available when needed. Our solution empowers her to lead a more independent and fulfilling life.
