SHANGHAI, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dada Group (Nasdaq:
DADA) ("Dada"), China's leading
local on-demand delivery and retail platform, actively strengthened
its efforts on aging-friendly and barrier-free updates of JDDJ's
application, which is included in Shanghai's official guidance for elderly
people. This move is committed to bridging the digital divide for
the elderly and the disabled when using Internet, and providing
more convenient access to on-demand consumption services.
Shanghai local government
recently published the guidance of "Digital Partner Program · How
to Use Smart Phones", which aims to address the difficulties
encountered by the elderly when using the smartphones. The updates
of JDDJ's application was included in the official guidance to
teach the elderly how to use Internet services, such as buying
medicine and grocery online.
At the end of last year, China's Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology issued the Special Action Plan for Aging-friendly and
Barrier-Free Updating of Internet Applications, under which
JDDJ was selected as one of the first 43 applications and listed in
23 key companies in Shanghai for
aging-friendly and barrier-free updating.
"With a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, Dada
Group has set up a dedicated team to boost the barrier-free
updating project in an effort to meet the needs of special groups
for online on-demand consumption," introduced Zhiping Chen, General Manager of Public Affairs
Department of Dada Group. JDDJ's aging-friendly updates completed
the beta test in May this year. JDDJ will apply to the China
Academy of Information and Communications Technology for testing by
the end of August.
As a representative of Shanghai Internet and online economy
companies, Dada Group has always been adhering to its corporate
social responsibilities. In order to improve the user experience
for special groups, Dada Group also recruited some volunteers as
"blind experience officers." With the feedbacks from the blind
experience officers, JDDJ's barrier-free updates made the
application more practical for better user experience.
