BlueAssist is a social innovation founded in the coaching of persons with intellectual disabilities in their striving for more personal freedom and quality of life. It has been successfully implemented in Flanders (Belgium) and the users were very satisfied. Thanks to more interdependence, they feel proud and glad to participate more in society. The BlueAssist icon offers users the feeling of security they need, to undertake more.
This free BlueAssist application can easily be managed by a caregiver. Messages can be customized in the desired language and supported by an icon the enduser has chosen for easy recognition of various messages. Use of the cards can be very rapidly taught to their endusers, even those who do not have any previous experience with smartphones.
We advise to try out the application several times, together with your enduser because at the beginning they often do not know how to show the message to passers-by. These “BlueAssist receivers” immediately understand the purpose thanks to the simplicity of the concept.
Together with many partners, NPO BlueAssist is turning the BlueAssist icon into a universal recognized icon.
