Norma Parental Support 4 monitors the movements of people with disabilities on public transport

Norma 4 has developed Parental Support, a tool that provides new ways of incorporation into the working life and daily life of people with mental disabilities, controlling your movements on public transport.

Improve your quality of life, Promoting your self-esteem is what the Parental Support application provides, developed by Norma 4, to people with mental disabilities; tranquility and independence which it offers to the people who have its guardianship.

Parental Support is an application that allows parents or guardians of people with mental disabilities to control their movements. A standard solution 4 that guarantees the safety of users, while giving them greater autonomy of movement.

The control system allows, via a master phone, schedule the route to be taken by the dependent person who carries a protected mobile phone, using metro databases, bus, etc.

The application provides a higher quality of life both to those who are responsible for people with these characteristics and to themselves..

Parental Support helps to incorporate a sector of the population, which is currently relatively far from certain areas of activity, to pre-work life, labor, training... providing a solution to people who, due to family-guardian dependency, cannot move around the city alone with autonomy and safety.

Norma 4 has developed this project after having detected a demand from associations and entities, both of a public nature (sports federations, administrations, etc.), as private (groupings, foundations, etc.) who are looking for new ways to join working life and daily life, overcoming the difficulties that some people have in doing so..

“We are facing a clear example of how technology helps to improve the living conditions and even the self-esteem of those who previously saw their trips as very limited due to always having to do them in company.. This application will facilitate the integration of this type of people, providing peace of mind and independence to those who have guardianship of the disabled person.”, points out Luis Ignacio Ardila, Director of Technology and Standard Solutions 4.
