Age Wave's Design Idea: Olli Connect

​itizens of the world all require transportation, but often and unfortunately many of us remain underserved. We require mobility and services to get to work, see our families, and access the world in a manner many may take for granted. The team at Accessible Olli, a self-driving mini-bus, would like to change that by creating solutions to make true and complete mobility accessible to all of us.

For this challenge, teams from around the world were asked to design the most inclusive experience for Olli riders of all ages and abilities, focusing on one or more of four specific categories of needs: mobility impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, and cognitive disabilities.

Our Age Wave team shared ideas to invent Olli Connect. Olli Connect is an idea for an RFID-based tool that enables Olli to offer personalized care for each rider with the flick of a wrist or the tap of a card. Designed by a team of gerontologists, livable community advocates, and caseworkers with experience in public transportation, Olli Connect would help all riders feel autonomous.

After review by the Olli team, our entry was accepted! See it here: https://launchforth.io/AgeWave/olli-connect/overview/?r=a85c5726-3404-4e37-8e09-84d20c886a21
