Our Commitment to Accessibility

GetPepWell, Inc. ("GetPepWell") is committed to ensuring that our telehealth platform and digital services are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. We believe that every patient deserves equal access to quality healthcare services, and we continually work to improve the accessibility and usability of our platform.

We strive to conform with applicable accessibility standards and guidelines, and we welcome feedback from our users to help us identify and address accessibility barriers.

Conformance Status

GetPepWell targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and define requirements for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

We are actively working toward full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across all areas of our platform. While we strive to meet this standard, we acknowledge that some areas may not yet fully conform. We are committed to ongoing improvements and regularly audit our platform to identify and resolve accessibility issues.

Known Limitations

While we strive for comprehensive accessibility, the following areas may have known limitations that we are actively working to address:

  • Some third-party integrations (payment processing, authentication) may have accessibility limitations outside of our direct control. We work with our vendor partners to advocate for improved accessibility in their services.
  • Telehealth video consultations require audio and video capabilities that may present challenges for users with certain disabilities. Alternative consultation methods may be available upon request.

Technical Specifications

The accessibility of the GetPepWell platform relies on the following technologies:

  • HTML5: Semantic markup for document structure and content
