Our Commitment
CardioVis is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that meets or exceeds the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA conformance level.
We believe that accessibility is an essential aspect of delivering healthcare technology information to a diverse audience of healthcare professionals, patients, researchers, and the public.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following features to support accessibility on our website:
- Semantic HTML: Our site uses proper semantic markup with heading hierarchies, landmarks, and ARIA attributes to support screen readers and assistive technologies.
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements, including navigation menus, links, buttons, and forms, are accessible via keyboard input.
- Color contrast: Text and visual elements are designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratios.
- Alternative text: Images include descriptive alt text to convey information to users who rely on screen readers.
- Responsive design: The site is designed to function across devices and screen sizes, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop browsers.
- Focus indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for interactive elements to assist keyboard and switch-device users.
- Readable type: Base font sizes and line heights are configured for comfortable reading, and the layout supports browser-level text scaling.
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website to identify and address potential barriers. Our practices include:
- Periodic audits of the site against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria.
- Testing with assistive technologies, including screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
- Incorporating accessibility best practices into our design and development workflow.
- Training our team members on accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some content may not yet fully conform to all WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. Specific known limitations may include:
- Some research figures and technical diagrams may contain complex visual information that is not fully described in alternative text.
- Third-party embedded content or tools may not fully meet our accessibility standards.
- Certain PDF documents may have limited accessibility features.
We are actively working to resolve these issues and improve the accessibility of all content.
