We know some parts of the app are not fully accessible:

  • PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

Compliance status

The Hedia Diabetes Assistant mobile application is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-accessible content

Tables
Some tables, such as the Logbook, are not properly supporting built in screen readers.
We plan to improve the accessibility of all tables.

User manual PDF
The latest version of the Hedia user manual, also called Instructions For Use, is provided as a PDF document within the app. It is currently not fully supporting built-in screen readers.

We plan to improve the accessibility of our user manual.

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

Logbook report PDFs
The PDF reports generated from the Logbook section of the Hedia app are not fully supporting built-in screen readers. The PDF reports are primarily for sharing with health care professionals, and are not essential for the patient’s use of our app.

Images and graphical illustrations
Some images and illustrations do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). The images and graphics are generally only supplemental illustrations that are not essential to the use and understanding of the app.
We plan to add text alternatives for all images.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 22-02-2023. It was last reviewed on 03-08-2023.

This app was last tested on 04-07-2022. The test was carried out by Hedia’s own product team in collaboration with Hedia’s design team and our Usability Engineer.

We used this approach to decide on a sample of pages to test:

Based on common use of the app, we focused on the main insulin calculation flow. This  includes the dashboard, blood sugar, food and drinks, activity, and insulin recommendation screens.

Screen colours were tested using a software tool for contrast checking. Compatibility with screen readers was tested by enabling VoiceOver on iOS, and TalkBack on Android, and navigating through the main bolus calculation flow.
