Our commitment to making health information accessible to everyone.

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

Health Hero is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to achieve this goal.

Our Commitment

We believe that access to health information should not be limited by disability. Our website is designed to be accessible to as many people as possible, including those who:

  • Use screen readers and other assistive technologies
  • Navigate using keyboard only
  • Have visual impairments including color blindness
  • Have hearing impairments
  • Have cognitive or learning disabilities
  • Have motor impairments

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Measures We Take

To ensure accessibility, we implement the following practices:

Semantic HTML Structure

  • Proper heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
  • Semantic HTML elements (nav, main, article, section, etc.)
  • Descriptive link text
  • Form labels and fieldsets for all form elements

Visual Accessibility

  • Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
  • Alternative text for all meaningful images
  • Scalable text that can be enlarged without loss of functionality
  • Visual focus indicators for keyboard navigation

Navigation and Interaction

  • Full keyboard accessibility for all interactive elements
  • Skip navigation links
  • Consistent navigation across all pages
  • ARIA landmarks and labels where appropriate

Content Accessibility

  • Clear and simple language
  • Descriptive page titles
  • Meaningful link text (avoiding "click here")
  • Captions or transcripts for multimedia content

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Voice recognition software
  • Keyboard-only navigation

Browser Compatibility

We test our website on recent versions of major browsers including:

Known Limitations

While we strive for comprehensive accessibility, some content may have limitations:

  • Third-party content or embedded materials may not meet all accessibility standards
  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
  • External links lead to websites we do not control

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across all content.
