AXS Map

AXS Map is a digital health and accessibility platform designed to crowdsource and share information regarding the wheelchair accessibility of public spaces and businesses. Founded by filmmaker Jason DaSilva following his diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis, the platform allows users to rate and review venues based on specific criteria such as ramp access, restroom availability, and interior spaciousness. The tool serves as a critical resource for individuals with mobility impairments, enabling them to plan trips and navigate urban environments more effectively. AXS Map also functions as an advocacy tool, encouraging businesses to improve their accessibility and fostering a more inclusive society. The platform has received support from major organizations, including Google.org and various healthcare partners, to expand its reach and data accuracy. It is operated by AXS Lab, a non-profit organization that utilizes media and technology to empower the disability community.
