Diversity and inclusion should never be the afterthought of innovation - it should be the foundation.
About us
We Hear You (WHY) is developing innovative and creative solutions to persistent accessibility problems. The company started with a sign language translator aimed at bridging the communication gap between the deaf and the hearing communities. While one side of the WHY team focused on that project, we created Hands Free, Inc., a company dedicated to making life easier and more convenient for those with mobility challenges. Our products include RF remotes that open doors remotely, an app that opens doors using voice commands, and the new patent-pending Hands Free Door Opener, which can turn virtually any door into an automatic door. We are gradually making the world more equitable and inclusive for all.

For the past year or so we've been working with We Hear You, Inc to help beta test their PUSH automatic accessible door opener. This allows a user to open an automatic door without having to use the mounted button that may not be accessible to them for many reasons. It also allows the user to keep the door open as it may take them longer to enter than the doors are timed to stay open. Recently one of the co-founders was awarded a grant from The Jed Foundation (JED) and Victoria’s Secret & Co. for a new tool called The Hero Door. We are so very excited for this next wave of accessible tech being created right here in Central Illinois. The new app that is launching will allow those with less dexterity to use PUSH with their voice or a quick tap, and The Hero Door Opener could change the way people access their homes or other internal doors. We are grateful to be a partner with them and to Thomas Garverick WMBD-TV for covering and sharing their success. If you have an automatic door that needs a push button to open, please consider installing the PUSH system so anyone with the remote can open it more independently. https://lnkd.in/gVm2c2Qh

You can't work all the time; it's essential to take breaks and recharge. Thanks to the Arch Grants team and board, our cofounders had a fantastic time supporting the St. Louis CITY SC Soccer team and enjoying a much-needed outing. We're grateful for the opportunity to relax and have some fun while still showcasing our work. Check out the pictures of us proudly holding up our phones with the Push app! #WeHearYou #TeamOuting #SaintLouisSoccer #PushApp #WorkLifeBalance #Grateful #Innovation
