Open innovation platform for the development of new digital solutions for the kitchen

In 2018, with LABE, this open innovation platform was formed with the different companies in the cluster with the aim of providing new digital solutions to the domestic cooking market. Several initiatives have emerged since the lab’s inception in 2018. One solution is in the commercialization phase, another in the evaluation phase on adjustments to new commercial specifications So far, 2 European patents have been registered.

ACCESSIBLE CONNECTED KITCHEN

ACCESSIBLE CONNECTED KITCHEN

It provides technology and connectivity so that the visibly impaired can cook in a safe and fully autonomous environment.

The kitchen is a solution that allows people with blindness or low vision to cook again. The new solution provides a digital access that allows people without vision to undertake the entire cooking process safely. A new company is being created. The solution has been tested with several associations of blind and low vision people (ONCE, Begisare, Cocinar a Ciegas) throughout the entire process: concept, prototype, and product. Currently, 13 people with low or zero vision cook daily with these stoves with a high level of satisfaction. 7 centres of reference among the Spanish geography have also installed these solutions.

The visually impaired cooking safely and completely autonomously: accessible oven

This accessible oven solution arose in response to demand from the users participating in the tests of the Accessible Connected Kitchen. The oven can be a safe cooking solution for people with reduced vision, since it takes place inside a recessed space. To enable this, it requires interaction to be carried out autonomously by tactile and auditory sensations. A technical solution derived from the connected kitchen was implemented with a functional oven prototype as result. Once finished, a user test was designed remotely (due to COVID issues). The results of the test showed that the development carried out complied with the specifications expected by the visually impaired group.
