Short description
The internet is an increasingly important part of our daily lives, which changes the concept of communication. In the 21st century people are using social media: to stay connected to friends and family; to share pictures and videos and many other reasons. Unfortunately, available social media do not provide the build-in features for people with cognitive disabilities. By understanding the importance of communication, we came up with the solution of creating a tool that would be fully accessible and easy to handle for people with disabilities.

„Keep in Touch“- a project that aims to provide a different social media tool oriented for a specific user. The main purpose lies in creating an alternative to existing social media, in conformance with special requirements of the users.
The project is divided into two different phases. In the first phase the prototypes of the board and software are created in order to check whether the design meets the specified requirements. In the second phase the focus is on functionality
The project is not funded and mainly driven in cooperation with students of the study programs Communication and Information Engineering and Infotronic Systems Engineering
