September 22: Accessible Health Tech

The Elena and Miles Zaremski Law Medicine Forum presents: Accessible Health Tech Implemented properly, technologies like virtual appointments, patient portals and remote patient monitoring can eliminate transportation and other barriers, streamline the processes for communicating with providers, obtaining medical records or refilling prescriptions, and improve the management of chronic conditions. People with disabilities might then seem like an obvious population to benefit from these advances. Unfortunately, health tech is often inaccessible for many patients with disabilities because developers do not currently prioritize accessibility. Yet we argue that there are legal, economic, and structural reasons for designing these technologies accessibly. As a result, law and policy makers should act now to ensure that all patients can use health tech, regardless of disability.
