A better understanding of disability.
You are writing an article, a feature or a podcast about myHandiQR. This page brings together everything you need to talk about the project accurately, short or long presentation, evidence of use, press FAQ, contact, and a link to the interactive QR preview.
The texts below may be reproduced freely, provided you respect the positioning (an inclusive tool, not a medical tool) and mention the full name myHandiQR with a link to the site.
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 is for people with a visible or invisible disability and for those around them.
The problem. Explaining a disability means repeating. At every new school year, every new work team, every new doctor, every activity leader, you have to start over. For invisible disabilities (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety, selective mutism, hypersensitivity, epilepsy), this load is constant, especially for parents.
The solution. Two pillars. Making it known without repeating everything every time, 3 texts written once, editable at any time, shared through a QR code. An explanation adapted to each disability, myHandiQR rephrases according to the reader’s age and their connection with the person. Everything is also available as audio.
Who it is for. Parents of children with a disability, adults with a disability in professional or social settings, carers. On the other side, teachers, AESH (teaching assistants for students with disabilities, in France), support workers, activity leaders, first contact care professionals.
Business model. 3 months free trial, then $2/month (that is $24/year). The profile is kept even if the subscription stops.
What myHandiQR is not. Not a medical tool, not a health record, not a diagnostic tool. The profile is written freely by the parent, the adult with a disability or the carer, in everyday language.
Pillar 1, no more repeating yourself
A parent, an adult with a disability or a carer writes 3 texts, presentation, how to help, what to avoid. They tick the relevant disabilities in a list. They share a unique QR code. The reader reads the profile, that is all.
The same profile serves a whole school, social and working life. The person takes back control of how their way of functioning is described, without carrying the weight of it at every new 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", and gets a professional version.
The person did not 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 is physical, easy to print, to stick somewhere, to slip into a wallet or a notebook. No login needed, nothing to install. The person scans it with their phone and reaches the profile.
How does the AI explain disabilities?
When a disability is clicked, myHandiQR generates an educational explanation adapted to the reader's profile (age, relationship with the person). The profile itself does not change. Only the explanation around the disability is rephrased.
Is the data protected?
Yes. Data relating to disability is sensitive within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR. European hosting. Your data is neither shared nor sold. The QR code can be revoked remotely, if the profile is no longer up to date or if the person wants to cut off access, scanning it returns nothing.
Is it a medical tool?
No. myHandiQR is neither a medical record nor a diagnostic tool. A parent, an adult with a disability or a carer freely writes 3 texts in everyday language.
What is the business model?
3 months free, then $2/month (that is $24/year). No commitment. If the subscription is not 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.
