I’ve been asked by many people as to why AccesserCise doesn’t use AI and my response is always we prioritise accessibility over automation.
When we built Accessercise, the world’s first fitness app designed specifically for disabled people, we had one goal: to create a platform that truly understands and meets the unique needs of the disability community.
In today’s tech landscape, AI seems like the magic solution to almost every problem. But here’s the truth: AI isn’t trained for disability. The datasets powering AI tools often fail to represent the nuanced challenges, preferences, and requirements of disabled individuals. This lack of representation can result in generic solutions that don’t address real needs—or worse, perpetuate exclusion.
At Accessercise, we refuse to compromise on understanding our users. Every feature we’ve developed—whether it’s specific specific exercise content, accessiblity rating scales for fitness facilities, or our supportive community network—is based on direct feedback from disabled individuals, and experts in the field. This human-centered approach ensures that our app is built for and with the disability community, not just applied to it.
Until AI systems are trained with diverse and inclusive datasets that fully reflect the disability community, relying on AI risks eroding the trust and personalisation our users deserve. Accessercise is about empowerment, accessibility, and inclusion—and that means prioritising human input and collaboration over quick tech fixes.
We’re open to integrating AI when it’s ready to truly serve everyone, but for now, we believe the human connection is irreplaceable. Because accessibility isn’t just a feature; it’s a commitment.
