Breaking through mobility and encourage independence for the disable community
Yoocan, the global collaborative community, for and by people with disabilities, announces the launch of the first ever global early stage assistive technology accelerator. The founder Moshe Gaon: “As an ecosystem leader, we intend to be at the forefront of the world in helping and identifying the best technologies in this area from mobility, to VR to smart cities, smart home, IOT, bionics, etc.” Moshe Gaon founder and CEO of yoocanfind.com says “Yoocan Technologies has now reached a leading position with thousands of engagement community members from more than 100 countries. It’s time for us to also help technologies focusing on helping people with disabilities to reach users, partners and organizations from around the world. In the last three years Israel has become a hot ecosystem for social and Assistive Technologies. As an ecosystem leader it is our role not only to help people collaborate but also for technologies to develop and reach people who need them faster and more efficiently.” Gaon also says “The market for accessible technologies in the US is estimated at $45 billion and is growing by 6 percent a year, so that's the next thing and we have to be there. " So far, the yoocan community has 180,000 members who can upload content. "My goal is to connect manufacturers to users and provide them with solutions by connecting investors to entrepreneurs. Yoocan was established in July 2016 following the birth of Gaon’s nephew, Erez, who was born with a serious disability. The situation forced Gaon to understand the difficulty of a family coping with disabilities and suffering from loneliness and the difficulty in locating suitable products, services, solutions, and doctors. Yoocan is now the leading global collaborative community and early stage assistive technology hub for and by people with disabilities.
