BRANCH: social startup – ChromaSwap
Human communication is based on colors, where each color corresponds to a stimulus, information or emotion. At present, 350 million people worldwide have discoloration, the congenital inability to recognize green and red color spectrums. The lack of a complete accessibility solution makes the everyday life of fellow citizens difficult, from students who will have difficulty in their schooling to employees and users of digital applications.
Realizing the value of color and the need for it to be understood by all people, Pantelis Naoui creates ChromaSwap, the first social startup that offers complete digital accessibility solutions that help businesses and operators adapt to an environmentally friendly color. It offers tools for analysis, conversion of digital material and design of applications in colors that are friendly to discoloration, for the purpose of all three types of discoloration (protonopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia).
ChromaSwap, powered by the vision of a young man who, having his own discoloration, tries to offer the best possible to his fellow human beings, managed in just 2 years to win the 1st place in StartupNow Forum 2019, the 1st place in the GreenTech Challenge ESU by NTUA 2019, to be in the top 10 finalists of the pan-European competition Reload Greece 2020 and to complete its incubation in the Invent ICT incubator of the National Technical University of Athens in 2021 with the same funding.
The innovative startup opens new avenues for modern services to offer customized accessibility options to discoloration, with the ultimate goal of creating a wider digital ecosystem that will make discoloration-friendly design efficient and sustainable. Education, entertainment and culture are pillars of society where accessibility choices are necessary.
For ChromaSwap each person is unique and perceives the world in their own special way. We need to embrace the needs of people with dyskinesia. It is our duty to offer them the colors they deserve.
