One of the main problems that people with functional disabilities face on a daily basis is when they have to interact in public spaces (public administrations, shops, supermarkets, etc.) and at the same time preserve their autonomy and privacy in terms of their disability. Based on this problem, Teresa Gallego, lecturer in the Department of Engineering and Civil Engineering, and Raúl Marín, lecturer in the Department of Engineering and Computer Science at the Universitat Jaume I, proposed a solution to a specific case such as Parkinson's patients, through a co-creative project promoted by the UJI.>LAB of Espaitec.

"Integrated Disability" is being carried out through collaborative and interdisciplinary work between the different areas that make up the project: Architecture, Computer Engineering, Economics, Health Sciences and the collaboration of the Parkinson's Association of the Province of Castellón.

On the one hand, the Health area, made up of medical, nursing and psychology staff from the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló, together with the Parkinson's Association of the Province of Castellón, have been responsible for gathering the necessary information to facilitate the interaction between the patient and public spaces according to their limitations. On the other hand, the project has the participation of fourth-year students of Computer Engineering, who are making use of the knowledge acquired in the subject of Networks and Mobile Devices to train and develop some technological parts of the project, such as the implementation of the application "Mi Vida Más Fácil", which can be installed on a smartwatch or smartphone, and which uses Bluetooth to send this information to attend to the disabled person.

Finally, the Department of Economics, through the participation of a group of students, has developed a methodological Canvas that integrates a possible business plan of a potential entrepreneurial initiative around the outcome of the project.
