The AssistData platform provides citizens and professionals with information on assistive products and resources for people with disabilities. Through AssistData, suppliers from the technology, health, and social services sectors describe and detail information about available products, with the goal of facilitating access for those who need them.

The AssistData database groups items according to the international standard ISO 9999, which classifies assistive products by type and function. The website has a search engine that allows users to search for products of interest using keywords that refine the search and ensure a personalized result. Additionally, it has a classification of specific resources targeted at people with a particular disability or illness. The platform offers the possibility to save desired items so they can be registered in the account of the person who needs them.

Each product includes a description of its main features, an informational PDF document on the method of use, different visual resources to aid understanding of its functionality, and, in some cases, the price. This data, along with the supplier’s contact information, is provided and updated by the various product suppliers. By 2023, the platform had 51,351 assistive devices and 953 Danish suppliers. The products have the CE certificate, which indicates that they meet the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements established by the European Union.

AssistData also offers other useful resources, such as guides on the general use and maintenance of assistive technology, a forum for interacting and sharing experiences with other users. It also facilitates access to European safety and quality standards and directives related to assistive products. Additionally, it streamlines the purchasing process for professionals responsible for the public procurement of assistive products through templates that reduce administrative burden and ensure compliance with European regulations related to product quality.
