Support accessibility on site:
Digital, mobile, individual
Without stairs from A to B? Not so easy. Unfortunately, people with disabilities still come up against barriers all too often.
Help to remove them! Thanks to smartphones and the barrier-free assistance from contagt, this is now possible!
For operators of buildings and websites:
Attention, new commitments!
Regardless of whether they have a disability or not, all people should have self-determined access to facilities and digital services. This results in more and more requirements for operators:
- Federal Disability Equality Act
- UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- DIN 18040 (Accessibility for public transport routes)
On the plus side, to meet these guidelines, aids are expressly allowed by law. With contagt you can act now!
Accessibility means:
“Enable people with disabilities an independent life and full participation”
United Nations
Inclusion means:
“Embracing diversity in a positive way and responding to different needs”
UNESCO
Living inclusion:
contagt is the solution for all.
contagt is the “Swiss army knife” for accessibility. Instead of many separate apps for each individual user group, contagt offers a uniform, inclusive solution for all! Via the smartphone, exactly those aids can be activated that are needed. The app adapts individually.

Developed together with those affected,
implementable together in the project
We don’t just develop, we listen to understand how people with disabilities can be supported in the best possible way. During implementation, we then also work closely with partners such as associations for the blind, disability representatives, accessibility consultants, etc. For this we use different formats of collaboration like mapathons or user interviews.
Your benefits at a glance
Permanent further development in research projects.
Close cooperation with associations for the disabled and disability representatives.
Continuous improvement thanks to feedback from users.
contagt follows the principle “design for all”. This way you avoid costly special solutions for each individual user group.
Guiding strips on the floor, for example, show blind people the way. A digital solution can solve several problems at once as a supplement.
People with visual impairments or blindness are mobile in a completely different way: they use functions such as zoom, screen reader, Braille display or voice control.
The guides of contagt are inclusive and therefore usable for really everyone.
For barrier-free exploration of your site and building like never before: autonomous, self-determined and with confidence!
The result: You comply with accessibility requirements and are thus on the safe side. Your efforts also create a positive image and set you apart from competitors.
