waytoB helps people with intellectual disabilities navigate streets independently while providing peace of mind to loved ones. waytoB gives users turn-by-turn directions on their smartwatch or smartphone. waytoB offers connected partners, to track the user’s location, heart rate and battery life in real time and get notifications if the user gets off track, stops for too long or shows an elevated heart rate. Instructions are based on real-time location and orientation data, making the navigating experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
