Expert Web Accessibility Audits for Health-Tech
Your digital health platform passed an automated check, but could a blind user safely refill their insulin prescription on it at 2 AM?
Standard accessibility audits can find code-level compliance issues. But they have a critical blind spot: they lack the clinical context to identify where a usability flaw becomes a genuine patient safety risk. I bridge that gap. My audits don’t just check for compliance; they evaluate for clinical safety and true usability from the dual perspective of a medical doctor and a native screen reader user.
Is Your Digital Health Platform Truly Safe and Usable?
For health-tech leaders, accessibility is not just about compliance; it’s about patient trust and risk mitigation. Ask yourself:
- Are you confident that your user interface doesn’t introduce ambiguity that could lead to medication errors?
- Can a user with motor impairments easily navigate complex medication schedules and appointment bookings?
- Is your medical terminology presented in a way that is clear and unambiguous to a screen reader and, most importantly, to the patient relying on it?
If there is any doubt, you need more than a standard audit. You need a clinical accessibility review.
My Service: The Clinical Accessibility Audit
I provide a single, comprehensive service designed to give your team a complete and actionable picture of your platform’s accessibility and clinical usability. You won’t receive a simple checklist. You will receive a strategic package of deliverables that empower your designers, developers, and product managers to make meaningful improvements.
What My Audit Delivers:
- Live User Experience Videos You will receive screen-captured video recordings of my live testing sessions. You will see my screen and hear my screen reader’s real-time audio output as I navigate your platform, providing undeniable evidence of where users get stuck, confused, or frustrated.
- Comprehensive WCAG 2.2 Audit Report A detailed PDF report cataloging every finding, cross-referenced with the relevant Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 criteria. Each finding is explained in clear, jargon-free language.
- Clinical Usability Analysis This is my unique deliverable. I provide a separate analysis identifying issues that, while perhaps technically compliant, create unacceptable risks or confusion from a clinical standpoint. This is where we move beyond compliance and into patient safety.
- Actionable, Prioritised Recommendations For every issue identified, I provide a clear, developer-friendly recommendation for the fix. All findings are prioritised by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) so your team knows exactly where to focus their efforts for maximum impact.
- Strategic Debrief & Team Q&A A live, virtual debrief session where I walk your team through the most critical findings, demonstrate the issues live, and answer any questions your technical and product teams may have.
My Four-Step Audit Process
My process is designed to be transparent, thorough, and collaborative, ensuring maximum value for your investment.
- Step 1: Discovery & Strategy Session We start with a complimentary discovery call to understand your platform, business objectives, and legal requirements. We will precisely define the scope of the audit, focusing on the most critical user journeys for your patients.
- Step 2: Immersive User Simulation I step into the shoes of your patient. I rigorously test the defined scope using my native assistive technology (including screen readers and keyboard-only navigation) on both desktop and mobile platforms, simulating real-world usage scenarios.
- Step 3: Dual-Lens Analysis & Reporting I analyze my findings through my two unique lenses: as a technical accessibility consultant evaluating against WCAG standards, and as a medical doctor evaluating for clinical clarity and patient safety. This analysis forms the basis of your comprehensive report.
- Step 4: Strategic Debrief & Demonstration In our final session, I present the report and demonstrate the key findings live. This is not a lecture; it is a working session designed to empower your team with the insight and understanding they need to build a better, safer, and more accessible product.
