CARESCAN MOBILE APPLICATION ACCESSIBILITY POLICY:

 

Accessibility statement for CareScan

This accessibility statement applies to CareScan Ltd.’s mobile software application CareScan as a product available on Android O/S devices.

This mobile application is run by CareScan Ltd. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this mobile application. For example, that means you should be able to:

​

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings

• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen

• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

 

We’ve also made the mobile application text as simple as possible to understand.

The CareScan App is a native app built for Android devices. This means you can use the built-in accessibility settings on your device:

• Android accessibility settings

• AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

 

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

• There is no method to select background or foreground colour.

• This clause requires users to be informed of any inactivity that leads to data loss. CareScan mobile app does not inform users of such therefore fails this clause.

• CareScan does not keep the session data after a session has expired.

• No context specific help is available.

​

Feedback and contact information

If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact: Accessibility@CareScan.com

​

• Some images (e.g. CareScan logo and Barcode Image) do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

 

Disproportionate burden

Time-based media

There are no time based media in CareScan, thus this entire clause is inapplicable.

​

Adaptable

CareScan Mobile Application is not designed to cater to the visually impaired due to the nature of the application within the Operating Theatre, the clauses within this section and therefore  not applicable.

​

Distinguishable

Nothing in CareScan plays automatically, therefore clause 1.4.2 is inapplicable.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

There are locations where a scanned product or a scanned asset can have an abbreviated text based on the source information not the CareScan Application.
