The problem that innovation answers
The innovation addresses the limited access to information on specific needs, care practices and health of a dependent person in the absence of their long-term caregiver. This is one of the reasons why paramedics cannot often properly assist and support people with disabilities. If the long-term caregiver dies, becomes ill or is in an accident, people with multiple disabilities who cannot communicate verbally lose the only person who knows how to communicate with them and care for them.
How does innovation work?
As part of the innovation, “Passport to Life” was prepared. It is a set of standard information on how the nonspeaking individuals with multiple disabilities function and communicate. It includes analogue and digital elements. The analogue part is the paper version of the passport and a box to store it at the dependant’s residence and a silicon wristband with the dependant's Personal Identification Number as well as the telephone number of the association. The electronic part is an app that compiles the information in an online database. It consists of three levels – a basic one with the same information as in the paper version of the passport, and two additional extended levels.
