Yuriko Oda talks about her app WheeLog! and the future of accessibility

Like many disabled people, Yuriko Oda didn’t realize how inaccessible her community was until she became a wheelchair user herself. Diagnosed with Distal Myopathy at 22, she became a wheelchair user by the time she was 26. In 2017, her experiences with inaccessibility inspired her to create WheeLog!—a map-based app that uses crowdsourced data to provide mobility access information on everything from transit stations to restaurants to navigation routes.
