Medica is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Medica is used by engineers, quality managers, clinicians and auditors, some of whom rely on assistive technology. We design and test the application against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at Level AA, and we treat a failure as a defect of the same weight as a functional one.

What we do

• Every page has one `main` landmark, a skip link, a descriptive title and a correct `lang`/`dir` on the first paint — including right-to-left Arabic.
• All functionality is reachable by keyboard; focus is visible; the command palette and every menu close with Escape.
• Tooltips (glossary terms) are hoverable, dismissible and persistent (1.4.13); status is never conveyed by colour alone — a word or an icon accompanies every chip and dot.
• Text resizes to 200% without loss; the viewport never forbids zoom.
• Motion respects `prefers-reduced-motion`: entrance and waiting animations are disabled when the operating system asks.
• Contrast in both themes meets 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text and interface components.

Known limitations

• The dependency map is an SVG; every node is focusable and named, and a table of the same relationships is offered beside it, but panning by keyboard is coarse.
• PDFs generated from controlled documents inherit the structure of their source; headings are tagged, complex tables may not be.
