POUR Principles

Meaning

The POUR Principles are a foundational set of guidelines for digital accessibility, ensuring that web content and digital interfaces are usable by people with a wide range of disabilities. These principles, which stand for Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust, are highly relevant to the hormonal health and wellness space, particularly in the design of patient portals, health tracking apps, and telemedicine platforms. Adherence to POUR ensures that individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments can equally access critical health information, track their biometric data, and engage with wellness coaching services, promoting equitable care.
