Abstract
Web accessibility is fundamental to inclusive healthcare. Digital health platforms must be accessible to all healthcare professionals, including those with disabilities. This study evaluates the accessibility of the PAR platform from the perspective of physicians, highlighting critical aspects of digital inclusion in healthcare. 11 web pages of the platform were analyzed using the WAVE tool and evaluation manual by accessibility experts and doctors specialized in physiotherapy. Although the platform meets WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards at level \mathbf{A}, several barriers are identified, such as a lack of image descriptions, contrast, and navigation issues. The platform achieved a 98.9% compliance rate, with only 15 issues identified. The ARIA category presented significant challenges, with a compliance rate of 14.5%. The need to improve the automatic description of images and optimize navigation for users with disabilities is highlighted. The Perceptible and Understandable principles showed a compliance rate of 66.9% and 16.1%, respectively, pointing to opportunities for improvement in information presentation and clarity. These findings inform future improvements focused on addressing identified barriers and promoting an inclusive experience on the PAR platform for healthcare professionals.
