Accessibility Statement.

HCP Connect is committed to making our digital healthcare information and vaccine safety monographs accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities and diverse communication needs.

1. Conformance Status & Standards

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

HCP Connect is actively committed to maintaining conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA across all public registry pages, drug monographs, and vaccine safety guides.

2. Assistive Features Built into the Platform

Text-to-Speech & Audio Narration

Integrated speech synthesis allowing visually impaired users and auditory learners to listen to clinical summaries and news articles.

Language Notice: For the time being, audio playback and speech narration are available exclusively in English (US). Multilingual audio narration is currently in development.

Visual Font Scaling & Contrast

Interactive font-size magnification (Standard, Large, Extra Large) and high-contrast modes for low-vision readers.

Multilingual Content Options

One-click translation bars supporting major global languages to assist non-English speaking healthcare communities.
