Blue Badge Style
Blue Badge Style website and App helps disabled people maintain their sense of style. We have a growing affluent community with an estimated spend on hospitality of £1.7Bn per year. Our unique Pictorial Access Descriptions - PADs- are hosted on our website which through high quality photos and architectural overlays, provide people with disabilities a view of what facilities/ obstacles are like in a venue. This information is not available on most hospitality sites. This revenue stream is scalable - it is managed centrally with photos produced locally. Venues will pay for the initial PADs plus a yearly maintenance fee.

ei Technologies
We enable patients with depression and anxiety to improve self-awareness of their emotions as part of their therapeutic pathway. We do this by determining their emotion in real-time from features within their voice using our sophisticated technology. Unlike conventional self-awareness tools, the patient doesn't have to remember to complete a dairy or recall specific situations. This means that the time spent with their therapy-provider is more productive, leading to better health outcomes. Our service is a smartphone application and web-based assessment tool that allow the patient and therapy-provider to identify situations that led to negative emotions and behaviours.
