Business Case

A prominent U.S.-based non-profit organization in clinical oncology sought to overcome accessibility challenges to ensure inclusivity for a diverse set of users while empowering healthcare professionals with the latest research and knowledge for improved patient outcomes.

The Solution

Impelsys devised a comprehensive strategy for addressing accessibility by conducting manual assessments in line with WCAG 2.0 A and AA standards. The testing encompassed various devices and browsers, utilizing tools such as X-ray, Jira, AXE, NVDA, and Lighthouse to ensure effective test-case management, defect tracking, and accessibility.

Outcome

Impelsys’ intervention in accessibility testing resulted in app optimization for users with disabilities, which included vision impairment, hearing disabilities, and other conditions. The front-end application’s accessibility efficiency significantly improved from 25% to 70%, achieving compliance with WCAG standards.
