Case Study

Hurix Digital Helps a Leading Global Medical Company Lead the Way with Accessibility Solutions

Client Overview

Our client is a leading global provider of medical information and point-of-care solutions, serving the healthcare industry with innovative tools and resources that support healthcare professionals worldwide. To ensure inclusive access to critical medical content, they required a robust Accessibility Solution that meets global compliance standards, including WCAG and ADA. By implementing an advanced Accessibility Solution, they enhanced digital accessibility across their platforms, enabling healthcare professionals of all abilities to access essential information seamlessly. This solution included screen-reader-friendly interfaces, captioned multimedia, and adaptive navigation, ensuring a user-friendly experience for all medical practitioners, researchers, and patients.

The Challenge

In the critical field of healthcare accessibility is paramount. The client faced a significant challenge: ensuring their online tools and resources were accessible to healthcare professionals with disabilities. Key requirements included:
  • Ensuring seamless navigation for visually impaired users.
  • Providing descriptive text for all visual content.
  • Enabling users to navigate all web applications without a mouse.
These improvements were essential to creating an inclusive digital environment where every healthcare professional could access vital information and tools.

Our Solution

Hurix Digital approached this challenge with empathy and technical precision, aiming to make the client’s digital resources universally accessible. Our strategy included:

1

Extensive Accessibility Audit

  • We conducted an exhaustive audit of all online tools and resources using our AI-powered tool, EqualSense to identify areas needing enhancement. We also came up with detailed, actionable recommendations for improving accessibility.

2

Execution of Accessibility Solutions

  • To ensure all users could easily interact with online tools, we developed and integrated accessible forms. We also implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmarks to improve site navigation. The keyboard navigation was also looked at to make all web applications fully operable without a mouse.

3

Training and Empowerment

  • Training sessions were held for the client’s development team to equip them with the skills and knowledge to maintain accessibility standards. At all junctures, accessibility was embedded into the development process, fostering a culture of inclusivity.

The Result

The collaborative efforts between Hurix Digital and the client led to remarkable outcomes:

  • The accessibility features, powered by EqualSense , have significantly enhanced the usability of online tools for all users, particularly those with disabilities.
  • The positive changes have led to higher user satisfaction, demonstrating the client’s commitment to providing accessible and effective solutions.
  • All online tools and resources now meet accessibility standards.
