Enhancing Solutions for Accessible Living (for People with Reduced Mobility)

THE CHALLENGE

Every day, individuals with reduced mobility struggle to navigate spaces that were not designed with their needs in mind. Steps, narrow door frames, missing elevators, steep ramps, inaccessible bathrooms, and poorly planned communal areas create constant obstacles—limiting independence, comfort, and safety.

In Spain, these barriers are especially common in older buildings, where accessibility remains a critical unmet need. There is a clear opportunity to rethink how homes and buildings are designed, adapted, and supported. Beyond physical modifications, technology and innovative service models can transform daily life, enabling greater autonomy and improving overall wellbeing.

Fundación Mutua Propietarios is committed to fostering real, measurable impact by promoting accessibility, raising awareness, and driving innovation that empowers individuals to live independently and with dignity.

OBJECTIVE

To identify innovative, scalable solutions—technological, architectural, or service-based—that meaningfully enhance accessibility, autonomy, and everyday living for people with reduced mobility in their homes or residential buildings.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Solutions may include:

• Architectural improvements that enhance access to buildings and homes

• Low-cost or modular accessibility retrofitting for older buildings

• Assistive technologies that facilitate daily activities at hom

• Digital tools that support independent living or reduce reliance on caregivers

• Early detection systems for fall risks, obstacles, or unsafe layouts

• Services offering guidance, maintenance, or personalized accessibility support

• Solutions that improve the usability and comfort of common areas

OUT OF SCOPE (for now):

• Clinical or medical devices.

• Projects not related to housing or residential environments.
