eAccessibility

The concept of ensuring that all people, including those with disabilities and elderly people with reduced functional capabilities, have equal access to information and services made available through electronic and digital technologies. eAccessibility encompasses websites, mobile applications, software, hardware, and other ICT products and services. The term is used particularly in European policy contexts, where it frames accessibility as both a technical requirement and a civil rights issue. eAccessibility policies aim to prevent digital exclusion by requiring that governments and businesses make their electronic offerings usable by people with diverse abilities.
