💡 The Idea Behind Libati
With the Libati app, a young startup aims to make traveling and being on the go easier for people with diabetes and other chronic conditions. Libati is a community-based app that helps people with chronic conditions or physical disabilities discover new places tailored to their individual needs.
The Libati team explains in their own words where the idea came from:
"According to the Institute of General Medicine at Goethe University in Frankfurt, approximately one in two people in Germany alone suffers from at least one chronic illness today. Even if not every affected person is severely limited in their daily life by their illness, the results of our interviews were clear, as respondents repeatedly described a similar problem in their daily lives: For chronically ill people, it is very time-consuming to spontaneously go to a restaurant, bar, café, or similar place they have never been to with friends. The situation is similar with visits to hotels, AirBnBs, or vacation rentals.
Too much information about the locations is missing beforehand. If someone, for example, is affected by asthma, that person needs to find out in advance whether there are stairs to climb, whether there are parking spaces nearby, or whether there is an elevator. For diabetes, other things are important, such as whether there are carbohydrate indications on the menu. Of course, one could find out this information beforehand through extensive research and phone calls. However, this eliminates any spontaneity.
That's why many affected people told us that they have given up by now because they can no longer keep up with healthy friends and family members and have to cancel activities or decline them in advance. Our founding team itself has family members and friends in their own circle who are affected. We see a societal problem in the fact that it takes healthy people three clicks on Google Maps to decide which café to visit, while people with chronic illnesses have to choose between extensive research and staying at home.
With our digital solution Libati, we want to ensure that people with chronic illnesses are more included in society and can enjoy their leisure time and freedom."
🗺️ How Does the App Work?
In short: Create a profile with illness filters, open the map, select locations using the traffic light system.
Operation takes place in four steps:
- Register and fill out profile. Important here: not only select the illnesses, but also individual triggers and preferences.
- Go through disease-specific screens. The app guides you through appropriate question sequences, depending on the illness.
- Open map. Nearby locations are marked with the traffic light colors red, yellow, green.
- Rate and add. Your own experiences help the community keep the rating accurate.
What the traffic light colors mean:
- Red: Location is highly likely to trigger symptoms or not match stored preferences, based on community ratings.
- Yellow: Medium ratings, mixed picture.
- Green: Location is highly likely to match stored needs.
