“…In this context, it is clear that technology must play a central role in improving the well-being and integration of people with disabilities into society, providing tools to enhance accessibility to touristic and other types of services [6]. Over the last decade, the number of smartphones users has been increasing because of the advantages that these devices offer as compared to PCs and laptops, such as ubiquity, efficiency, portability, price, and rapidity in the execution of common tasks [7,8]. Therefore, mobile applications are, nowadays, an effective way to divulge any kind of information, especially when it is related to the location of places of public interest [9], as the case of accessible beaches for people with motor disabilities.…”

“…In a similar scenario, Ayres et al [11] proposed a mobile app, also for the iPhone, to help students with mental disability and/or autism disorders. Srivastava et al [7] developed a web responsive application of e-health tools for adolescents and young adults in India planned for use in mobiles. Other current applications of mobile technologies in the healthcare domain can be found in the review by Boulos et al [12], which describes different uses in health, fitness, education, and ambient assisted living for people with chronic diseases.…”

The global increase in the proportion of the population with disabilities has caused a greater awareness toward guaranteeing their use of public services. In particular, there is emphasis on the accessibility and inclusivity of tourism resources, to improve the enjoyment and well-being for people with motor disabilities. This paper presents a case study on accessibility to beaches in the Region of Murcia, Spain, which is one of the main tourist areas in the country. First, the most important elements that allow for the accessible use of beaches are analyzed and exposed in detail. Then, an extensive field-work in the area of interest has been carried out and its results are evaluated. Finally, the development of a new mobile app is described. The objective of this tool is to provide updated, accurate, and reliable accessibility information regarding the beaches. As a result, more than a third of the beaches analyzed had a high level of accessibility, while almost another third are totally inaccessible. The proposed application is a valuable tool, not only to help people with physical and motor disabilities, but also to raise awareness among local authorities to create and improve accessible services.

The working process of this application is by providing health information to its readers, and with such habits, they can increase their knowledge indirectly through the application.…”

“…This concept should be owned by hospitals and service providers, thereby facilitating patients in conducting discussions and consultations considering complaints and illnesses [30]. Furthermore, e-Health is a webbased intervention, and it has proven to be effective, inexpensive, and practical to implement [16], [17]. Its use is not limited and adopted not only in developed countries but also in low-income countries.…”
