Medequip was delighted to attend this year's Disability Expo at ExCeL London in July with the Manage At Home Interactive Accessible Home. Our fully interactive home featured off-the-shelf products and specialist equipment for visitors to try out in a realistic environment, showcasing how you can improve independent living without compromising on the feel and style of your home.
Visitors to the Interactive Accessible Home were able to travel through our four living spaces; the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom and the bathroom, which featured just over 100 products, coming from 24 trusted brands. Custom swing tags were attached to each product being displayed, enabling people to scan a QR code taking them to that product's page on the Manage At Home website.
Visitors also had the opportunity to join Medequip's Occupational Therapists for a guided tour of the Interactive Accessible Home, seeing and learning about products to support independence.
Medequip's Content Marketing Specialist, Tom Rogers, reports the event was successful. 'Disability Expo and our Interactive Accessible Home allowed the public to ask us direct questions about how daily living aids can help them live better independently.
'The marketing team, together with our incredible Occupational Therapists, got the chance to hear first-hand accounts of how people are living with disabilities, and were able to offer them ideas and advice about what's out there and available to them.
'We are very proud that we managed to speak to so many people, and we're excited to see how the event grows in years to come.'
