AI-Enhanced Emergency Plans for Senior Safety

Rethinking Fire Safety with Compassionate Technology

By Bill Fow + Joey Capp

The Reality Check

"You can't read that fast under pressure."

Current evacuation plans fail when we need them most.

Cognitive Overload

Maps demand visual processing during high-stress events.

Accessibility Gap

Standard plans exclude those with visual or cognitive impairments.

Who This Affects Most

Seniors

Visual and cognitive challenges amplified during emergencies

Guests

Unfamiliar with layouts, prone to panic and disorientation

Staff

Stretched thin when assisting everyone quickly

The Opportunity

What if the map... talked to you?

Audio guidance provides intuitive, hands-free navigation.

Multilingual Support

Instructions in the user's preferred language.

Real-Time Pathfinding

Adjusts routes based on current conditions.

Universal Design

Works for everyone, regardless of ability.

The Solution: AAEP

Activate

Tap NFC or scan QR with any smartphone.

Listen

Receive calm, clear audio directions.

Follow

Step-by-step guidance to nearest exit.

Exit

Reach safety with confidence.

Prototype Concept

Clear Directions

"Walk toward the stairwell on your left. You're 20 feet away."

Adaptive Guidance
