Item Metadata only Challenges and Improvements in Website Accessibility for Health Services(2020-01) Acosta Vargas, Gloria Filomena; Ahram, T., Karwowski, W., Vergnano, A., Leali, F., y Taiar, R.Today, the growing number of applications and web users make software engineering a promising field, especially the development of accessible web applications. According to the World Health Organization, 15% of the world’s population carries some form of disability. There are many websites for patient care, but not all of them are accessible. Therefore, it is necessary to develop accessible websites for health services that comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 that provide guidelines for the development of more accessible and inclusive applications. Testing accessibility in web applications is a major challenge for accessibility experts, so this research proposes an assessment method to measure the accessibility of health-related web applications. The method can serve as a reference to apply to any website.Item Metadata only Combined method for accessibility evaluation in tele-rehabilitation platforms for low vision users(2021-01-26) Acosta Vargas, Gloria Filomena; Russo, D., Ahram, T., Karwowski, W., Di Bucchianico, G., y Taiar, R.According to the World Health Organization, about 15% of persons who have a disability. Existing web applications are not easily accessible, particularly for people with disabilities. In this research, we present a combined method that consists of applying an automatic inspection with a WAVE tool and manual method. In this study, we employed an examination of the accessibility assessment of ePHoRt, a web platform for hip arthroplasty patient rehabilitation, from the physical therapist’s perspective. In this research, we included the application of 12 accessibility barriers for people with a low vision based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2. The results obtained suggest that digital ramps and WCAG have more accessible and inclusive web platforms.Item Metadata only Designing an accessible website for palliative care services(2020) Acosta Vargas, Gloria Filomena; Botto-Tobar, M., Zambrano, M., Torres-Carrión, P., Montes, S., Pizarro, G., y Durakovic, B.There is no doubt that population growth and the increase in non-communicable diseases represent a challenge to society, especially for the health system, including palliative care. Maintaining accessible sites is essential for all kinds of people to interact on the web. Ecuador does not have websites on palliative care, and the existing ones in the area of health are not all accessible. To solve this need, we propose the design of a website in the area of palliative care, applying standards based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. By designing a website that applies the WCAG 2.1 standards, more people will be able to access healthcare, including people with disabilities. This research can contribute as a reference for the construction of more inclusive websites in the area of health.
