Accessibility Statement
Health tools accessible
to everyone.
SHELY is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.
Compliance Dashboard
We strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, Section 508 guidelines, EN 301 549 European standard, and Indian accessibility guidelines including the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.
Accessibility Features
Built-in features and tools that make SHELY accessible to all users. We believe everyone deserves equal access to health information and tools, regardless of their abilities or assistive technologies.
Keyboard Navigation
Full keyboard support with logical tab order and visible focus indicators. Skip links let you jump to main content instantly.
Screen Reader Support
Semantic HTML structure ensures screen readers can parse and present all content meaningfully. ARIA labels describe complex UI elements.
High Contrast & Visual
Enhanced color contrast meets WCAG AA standards. Information is never conveyed through color alone. Text scales cleanly to 200%.
Motor Accessibility
Large touch targets (minimum 44px), extended time limits, and drag-and-drop alternatives make every interaction reachable.
Cognitive Accessibility
Plain language explanations for medical terms, consistent navigation patterns, and simplified modes reduce cognitive load.
Mobile Accessibility
Native iOS and Android accessibility APIs, responsive design at all zoom levels, and gesture-based navigation alternatives.
Tested With
SHELY is regularly tested with popular assistive technologies. We incorporate feedback from assistive technology users into our development process.
