Recognition is meaningful. But what matters most is what it signifies.

When we received the AT Impact Center Award at the RESNA Developer's Showcase for DOOR-E, it reinforced something we have believed from the beginning: everyday barriers are worth solving.

That is what drives us.

DOOR-E exists because too many people still encounter unnecessary obstacles in spaces they should be able to navigate with confidence and ease. As long as those barriers remain, we will continue working to make accessibility more intuitive, practical, and adaptable to everyday life.

Every step forward reflects that commitment.

Accessibility is often discussed in terms of removing barriers, and that's important.

So is the quality of the experience.

Assistive technology, when thoughtfully designed, feels like a natural part of everyday life. It creates experiences that feel seamless and intuitive—experiences that support greater ease, independence, and opportunity.

When technology works the way it should, people can spend less time navigating it and more time living their lives.

Independence is not limited to one room or one building.
It goes with you, and your assistive technology should too.

Home. Work. Travel.
You deserve support wherever life takes you.

That’s why portability is at the heart of DOOR-E’s functionality.

From its built-in strap to its compact, easy-to-relocate design, it was created to keep up with real life.

Great assistive technology should feel intuitive, dependable, and simple—not like another obstacle to navigate.

That belief has helped shape DOOR-E from the very beginning.

As Mike Soniat, Founder & CEO, puts it: “If people have to work around a piece of technology, it’s the wrong solution.”

DOOR-E was built around thoughtful design that supports real people, real routines, and real needs.

Accessibility is not just about solving problems or removing barriers. It is about creating solutions that make moving through everyday life easier.

We aren’t looking back. Neither is DOOR-E.

Thoughtfully refined.
Carefully reimagined.
Built with everyday life in mind.

This next chapter represents countless conversations, intentional design decisions, and a whole lot of care along the way.

Huge thanks to the team at Very for helping shape what comes next.

We’re excited to finally share it in motion.

Why does automating a door matter?

It’s a question we’ve asked ourselves often — and one that ultimately shaped DOOR-E.

In this message, our Founder & COO, Wayne Newitts, shares the thinking behind DOOR-E and the principles that guided its development: unobtrusiveness, portability, and ease of use.

Because a closed door shouldn’t limit independence. 💙

We’re excited to share more soon.

Why the new look?

Because assistive technology should feel like it belongs.

When something becomes part of everyday life, design matters. It should feel intuitive, comfortable, and genuinely at home in the spaces people move through every day.

Not clinical. Not intrusive.

We believe accessibility innovation can feel modern, seamless, and thoughtfully designed for real life.

Something you trust. Something that feels natural to have around. Maybe even something you’re proud to show off.

Because when technology becomes part of daily life, function matters.

But how it looks and feels matters, too. 💙

We’ve been keeping a little secret. 💙

After countless iterations, conversations, and careful refinements, we’re so excited to finally share DOOR-E’s newest look.

For those who’ve been following along: thank you for your patience while we worked to get the details just right. Every decision has been intentional, and every refinement has helped shape what comes next.

And while there’s still more to come, this feels like an important moment:

DOOR-E is becoming what it was always meant to be.

Welcome to the next era.

Some barriers aren’t dramatic.

They’re the small moments of friction that quietly repeat throughout everyday life.

Waiting for assistance. Repeated strain. Extra coordination and planning for something many people do without thinking.

Over time, those moments add up.

Thoughtful accessibility design means paying attention to the everyday experience—not only the big barriers, but the small ones too. 💙

05/12/2026

Good assistive technology doesn’t happen by accident.👀

It takes thoughtful engineering, intentional design, and people who care deeply about how technology actually feels to use—every single day.💙

The best technology doesn’t force people to adapt to it. It fits naturally into everyday life—from the spaces you call home to wherever life takes you.

Refining DOOR-E takes a team, and we’re grateful for the people at Very helping bring it to life.🤝
