Screen Reader Support

Meaning

Screen Reader Support refers to the deliberate technical design and implementation of digital content and interfaces to ensure compatibility with screen reader software used by individuals with visual impairments. In the context of hormonal health, this is a critical accessibility feature for patient portals, educational resources, and telemedicine platforms, ensuring that patients with visual acuity issues, which can sometimes be a secondary symptom of endocrine conditions like severe diabetes or pituitary disorders, can still access their vital health information. Proper support ensures that all textual and non-textual elements, such as hormone level charts or diagnostic instructions, are correctly interpreted and narrated by the assistive technology.
