Free Webinar: Promoting Development and Accessibility of Health Apps for People with Disabilities

Thursday, January 20, 2022

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

-

January 20, 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET Free Webinar: Free Webinar: Promoting Development and Accessibility of Health Apps for People with Disabilities

This is a free webinar offered through the Great Lakes ADA Center on behalf of the ADA National Network.

From the Great Lakes ADA Center:

Mobile healthcare, or mHealth, is an important new tool for self-management of chronic conditions. However, growth in development of mHealth “apps” may increase health disparities by leaving behind vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities. The App Factory aims to ensure that people with disabilities are full participants in the growth of mHealth. We are addressing this aim in two ways. First, we want to help people find apps that are both effective in managing health and also accessible and usable by people with disabilities. Our website provides results from our accessibility testing and review of popular mHealth apps and encourages readers to evaluate and share their feedback about the usability of mHealth apps … and get paid for their feedback! Second, we provide funding support to app developers interested in making assistive or accessible mHealth apps that meet the needs of people with disabilities. We conduct an annual competition and fund 3-5 new app development projects each year. We also solicit feedback from people with disabilities to determine the high-priority needs for new app development.

Free but registration is required. To Register: https://www.accessibilityonline.org/ada-tech/session/?id=110994
