Assumptions
• The user must take part in the process as much as
possible
• The local staff are not expert in accessibility
• Not all AT devices are available at every centre
• AT Devices can be borrowed from other centresthrough the application

the system
Collaboration with associations

• An open source AI engine (JColibri) is used to match the needs
detected for each user with a set of recommendations aboutsoftware and AT devices for her
• The engine will learn from users feedback for futurerecommendations

Data protection
• It has been a priority for us to protect from misuse the personal
data of each user
• This has led to employ a token-driven access control
• The system generates a token for the user the first time he/sheaccesses the system
• Afterwards, the user only provides his/her login to access thesystem
• This way, there is no link between an user and an adaptation

Planned schedule
• Currently, it is in the last development phase
• Deployment is expected to happen at the end of this month
• Access to the tool will be available through the Guadalinfo web
