Our Brief
NHS Public Health Wales supports the diverse population of their area with healthcare and services. To continue providing a high quality of service they wanted to offer assistive technology on their website so everyone can access healthcare information hassle-free.
1 in 5 people in the UK are disabled and often encounter obstacles online, for those who are visually impaired and neurodiverse, it may be difficult to take an active part in the digital world.
To provide complete inclusivity on their website, web users need to be equipped with the tools that enable them to access online information.
Our Solution
The Recite Me assistive toolbar was launched on the NHS Public Health Wales website, in December 2020. In the first month alone there has been over 1600 unique users, accessing the assistance they need to support their online journey. To allow people to access healthcare, services and COVID-19 advice the Recite Me assistive toolbar offers users features such as translating content into different languages, read aloud and styling assistance. This includes adjustments to colour, font type and size.
