Sesami is a tool that helps integrate the elderly and people with disabilities fully into society. These groups are often excluded from pursuing normal activities due to a lack of accessibility information. People are discouraged from visiting unfamiliar places as they are unsure of their ability to access the facilities that they require. Sesami solves many problems associated with mobility by instantly disseminating relevant information about buildings and services to all users.

By providing their personal card number users can easily specify their accessibility requirements and can check whether a facility meets these prerequisites before even leaving their homes. This opens a world of opportunity to the elderly and people with disabilities and attracts more customers to participating businesses. Users will receive Sesami User Cards and organisations will receive building cards for display near their entry points. Additionally, building information will be stored online so that users can access it from anywhere.

Sesami will potentially lead to the development of international standards that will assist with maintaining, improving and extending the lifestyle of the elderly and people with disabilities.
