A better understanding of disability.

myHandiQR in one hundred words
myHandiQR is an inclusive tool for explaining a disability, visible or invisible. A parent, an adult with a disability or a carer writes 3 texts (introduction, how to help, what to avoid) and ticks the relevant disabilities in a list. A single QR code generates a profile that anyone can read. The reader enters their age and their relationship to the person, then reads the profile. When they click on a disability to understand what it is, myHandiQR gives them an explanation adapted to their profile, to read or to listen to. A child, a teacher and a first responder do not get the same version. 3 months free, then $2/month ($24/year).
myHandiQR in three hundred words
What it is. myHandiQR is an inclusive communication tool, compliant with European standards. It's designed for people with a visible or invisible disability and those around them.
The problem. Explaining a disability means repeating yourself. At every new school year, every new work team, every new doctor, every activity leader, everything has to start over. For invisible disabilities (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety, selective mutism, high sensitivity, epilepsy), this burden is constant, especially for parents.
The solution. Two pillars. Making it known without starting from scratch every time, three texts written once and for all, shared via a QR code. A tailored explanation for each disability, myHandiQR reformulates it based on the reader's age and their relationship with the profile holder. Everything is also available as audio.
Who it's for. Parents of children with disabilities, adults with disabilities in professional or social settings, caregivers. In parallel, teachers, teaching assistants, support workers, activity leaders, first-contact caregivers.
Economic model. Free trial for 3 months, then $2/month (i.e. $24/year). The profile is kept even if the subscription lapses.
What myHandiQR is not. Not a medical tool, not a health record, not a diagnostic tool. The profile is written freely by its creator in inclusive language.
Pillar 1, no more repeating yourself
The profile creator writes three texts, introduction, how to help, what to avoid. They tick the relevant disabilities from a list. They share a unique QR code. The reader reads the profile, that's all.
The same profile serves a whole school, social and working life. The person takes back control of how their way of working is told, without carrying the weight of it at every encounter.
Pillar 2, an explanation adapted to each reader
myHandiQR makes disability accessible to understand, in real time. When you click on a disability, myHandiQR reformulates the explanation based on the reader's age and their relationship with the profile holder. An 8-year-old child, a teacher, a first responder, a manager don't get the same version.
The profile holder's card doesn't change. Only the explanation around the disability is calibrated. And everything is also available as audio.
Bonus, help with writing
Faced with a blank page, we often get stuck on the words. Each text field in the profile has a Reword button. The user writes freely, the AI suggests a calm version to approve.
Rewording on request, never automatically. The AI doesn't write in the user's place, it helps them get going again. Drafts and rewordings are not used to train a model.
At school
The QR code is stuck in the home-school notebook. The teacher scans it, reads the introduction and the tips, clicks on "dyspraxia" to understand what it is in an educational version designed for them.
No need for a parent-teacher meeting just to cover the basics.
At work
An adult with ADHD shares their QR code with a new colleague. The colleague reads the profile, clicks on "ADHD", gets a professional version.
The person didn't have to open up in a team meeting.
In an emergency
A person with epilepsy keeps a card in their wallet. A first responder scans it, reads "how to help" and "what to avoid" in ten seconds.
They click on "epilepsy" to go further if needed, or turn on the audio if their hands are full.
Press frequently asked questions
Why a QR code?
Because it's physical, easy to print, stick on, or slip into a wallet or notebook. No need for a login, no need for the person to install anything. They scan it with their phone and access the profile.
How does the AI explain disabilities?
When you click on a disability, myHandiQR generates an educational explanation tailored to the reader's profile (age, relationship with the profile holder). The profile holder's card doesn't change. Only the explanation around the disability is reformulated.
Is the data protected?
Yes. Data related to disability is sensitive under Article 9 of the GDPR. European hosting. The QR code can be revoked remotely: if the profile is no longer up to date or the profile holder wants to cut off access, scanning it no longer returns anything.
Is it a medical tool?
No. myHandiQR is neither a medical record nor a diagnostic tool. The profile's creator freely writes three texts in inclusive language.
What's the economic model?
3 free months, then $2/month (i.e. $24/year). No commitment. If the subscription isn't renewed, the QR code stops working but the profile is kept.
Who can create a profile?
An adult with a disability, for themselves. A parent, for their minor child. A legal guardian, for the person in their care.
