• Designing Adaptive User Interfaces for mHealth Applications Targeting Chronic Disease: A User-Centered Approach

  Wei Wang, John Grundy, Hourieh Khalajzadeh, Anuradha Madugalla, Humphrey O. Obie · 2026 · ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology

  This paper from Monash and Deakin Universities addresses a persistent gap in mHealth design: most chronic disease self-management apps treat users as a homogeneous group, ignoring the wide variation in capabilities, health status, cultural background, and technological literacy…

• Designing for Colour Vision Deficiency: A Scoping Review of Resources That Support Designers in Choosing Accessible Colours

  Connor Geddes, Edward Curran Eggertson, Jonathan Sutton, Garreth W. Tigwell · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents a comprehensive scoping review of 113 academic papers focused on design methods that support colour accessibility for people with colour vision deficiency (CVD). CVD affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women, making certain uses of colour in…

• Wearables for All: Development of Guidelines to Stimulate Accessible Wearable Technology Design

  Jobke Wentzel, Eric Velleman, Thea van der Geest · 2016 · Proceedings of the 13th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper from the University of Twente and The Accessibility Foundation (Netherlands) presents the rationale and methodology for developing accessibility guidelines specifically for wearable technology — a domain where no dedicated accessibility standards existed at the time.…

• Investigating the Appropriateness and Relevance of Mobile Web Accessibility Guidelines

  Raphael Clegg-Vinell, Christopher Bailey, Voula Gkatzidou · 2014 · Proceedings of the 11th Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper from AbilityNet and Brunel University examines whether real accessibility issues found during mobile user testing can be effectively mapped to existing guidelines — specifically WCAG 2.0 and the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) 1.0. Five lab-based mobile testing…

• Testability and Validity of WCAG 2.0: The Expertise Effect

  Giorgio Brajnik, Yeliz Yesilada, Simon Harper · 2010 · Proceedings of the 12th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2010)

  This paper investigates the testability and validity of WCAG 2.0 success criteria through an empirical study with 22 accessibility experts and 27 non-experts (university students with 14 hours of accessibility training). Participants evaluated all 61 WCAG 2.0 success criteria…

• Are "Universal Design Resources" Designed for Designers?

  Young Sang Choi, Ji Soo Yi, Chris M. Law, Julie A. Jacko · 2006 · Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper from Georgia Institute of Technology and UMBC investigates why universal design (UD) adoption in information and communication technology (ICT) remains slow, hypothesizing that the design resources meant to help designers create universally designed products are…
