A health record has to be readable by everyone

Plain language first

Every reading is written to be understood by the person it belongs to, not only by a clinician. Status comes first, a plain summary second, detail only when you ask for it.

We do not use colour alone to carry meaning. Each status also has a written label — in range, worth watching, needs attention, no reading yet — so the meaning survives greyscale, colour blindness and screen readers.

Keyboard and screen readers

Every control on the site is reachable and operable with a keyboard, with a visible focus ring that is never removed. Navigation, disclosures and forms use standard semantics — headings, lists, labels and landmarks — rather than styled div elements.

Charts carry a text alternative describing what they show, and any figure a chart draws is also written out in words nearby.

Readable by default

Body text is set at a comfortable size with generous line height and line lengths kept short enough to follow. Text scales with your browser or system setting; nothing is locked to a fixed pixel size that breaks when you zoom.

Tap targets are at least 44 pixels tall. The mobile layout is designed for a phone rather than shrunk down from a desktop screen.

Calm by design

There are no popups, countdowns, autoplaying media or flashing content. Motion is minimal and respects a reduced-motion preference; nothing important is communicated by animation alone.

What is still uneven

Some older marketing pages have not yet been through the same review as the record itself. Uploaded documents — a lab PDF you add — keep whatever accessibility the original file had; we cannot improve a scan we did not make, though we do read its values out as text where parsing succeeds.

We treat accessibility as ongoing work rather than a finished certification, and we do not claim conformance we have not had independently assessed.

Tell us where it fails

If any part of EVORA is hard to read, hard to reach with a keyboard, or unclear with a screen reader, write to us and name the page. We would rather hear it plainly than have you work around it. Contact us.
