Accessible by Design: The Story of the NIH RADx Accessibility Initiative
At-home COVID-19 tests became essential during the pandemic, but many people with disabilities and older adults faced barriers using them independently.
This webinar explores the NIH RADx Accessibility Initiative, a national effort to improve the accessibility of home diagnostic tests through inclusive design, research, and collaboration with disability communities and industry.
Attendees will learn:
- how accessibility barriers were identified across the testing process
- how users with lived experience helped shape solutions
- how the initiative led to best practices, research publications, and emerging standards that influence future consumer health products.
