WeCareMore • Center for Research and Innovation

Technology and accessibility
in service of
people's independence

As the innovation hub of AIAS Bologna-ETS, we put our expertise and tools to work for organizations shaping physical and digital spaces that everyone can use.

WeCareMore

We work with public institutions, third-sector organizations and businesses to support the independence and inclusion of people with disabilities, acting on spaces, digital tools and training.Accessibility, both physical and digital, is the common thread running through everything we do.


We're called WeCareMore for a specific reason: moreWe put care care into everything we do, in our consulting and training, we don't stop at meeting standards and guidelines. Our "more" is the gap between a compliant solution and one that actually works for the people who'll use it: that's why we go beyond the standard, all the way to solutions tailored to the individual.

Independent from suppliers

We don't sell technology: we know the market and, when needed, we recommend the most suitable solution, free from commercial bias, while supporting its integration into your environment through training and workshops.

Multidisciplinary team

Our team combines technical, design, and health and social care expertise. It includes experts in assistive technologies and environmental accessibility who are also active in dedicated regional services.

Method

Our methods come from ten years of experimentation and over seventy-five national and international research projects: what we learn there, we bring into your context, aligning it with your goals.

Tailored paths for your organization

How we can work with together

Consultancy

From a single specific question to a longer path of ongoing support: the right solution, for the right person, depending on the context.

Training

For those working with the people receiving care and for those who will use the technologies: digital workshops and staff training.

Research and design

We take part alongside you in national and European calls for proposals, from the application itself to field testing, as a research partner.

Our services

Six paths born from the requests we receive most often, to bring technology, accessibility and inclusion into your organization. If your case doesn't fit any of these, it's still the right place to start a no-commitment conversation.

Digitalization
of care services

The market offers ready-made solutions designed for organizations that aren't yours: they add work for operators and end up unused. We start from how you work today and bring in technology only where it's actually needed.

Smart, barrier-free
residential spaces

A building that meets the regulations is not yet a place where people live well. We work on the kind of accessibility that regulations miss: finding your way without asking for help, not being overwhelmed by noise, and using your own spaces without relying on others.

Software development and accessibility

When a needs analysis shows that existing solutions aren't adequate, we design and build a tailor-made tool: an application, a platform or a digital ecosystem built around the organization's real processes.

Pathways for
pathways

Workplace inclusion shouldn't be a burden for a company. We start from your needs to build, together, pathways aimed at organizational wellbeing, turning an obligation into a real opportunity for change.
