Client Overview

Our client is a healthcare SaaS provider offering telehealth and home-care solutions in the USA. Their platform supports private-pay, Medicaid, veteran, and LTCI-funded segments, enabling remote consultations, appointment scheduling, and digital health monitoring for patients, including those with disabilities.

Business Issues

Besides its rich features, the healthcare application was posing accessibility challenges to users with disabilities, especially
those with visual and hearing impairments. WCAG 2.1/Section 508 standards were not entirely met due to:
Missing ARIA labels

for critical form fields and interactive components

Low color contrast

making the content unreadable to visually impaired users

Keyboard navigation gaps

preventing seamless use without a mouse

Large application footprint

consisting of 300+ pages made accessibility oversight more likely 

Our Solutions

QASmartz developed a well-structured accessibility testing framework for healthcare, embedding compliance, usability,
and inclusion through every stage of the software lifecycle. We combined AI-driven automation
with manual validation to ensure comprehensive coverage consisting of:

Automated
Accessibility Scans

Early problem detection thanks to advanced accessibility tools integrated into CI/CD pipelines. 

Manual
Verification

Screen reader workflows (JAWS, NVDA) and keyboard navigation tested by certified testers. 

Design
Collaboration

Partnered with UI/UX teams to resolve color contrast, focus order, and semantic structure issues before release.

Real Users
Feedback

Gathered direct feedback from real users with disabilities (including visually impaired individuals).
