What if there was an app to show how accessible a building or restaurant is for folks with disabilities?

Two local entrepreneurs found an answer to this question and created "Ahoi," an app that indicates whether a Boston building has ramps for wheelchairs, automatic doors, or bathroom grab bars.

This segment aired on June 13, 2023.
