Accessibility Statement

Akili Suite Technologies  ·  Last reviewed: March 2026

Our commitment to accessible design
Akili Suite is committed to ensuring the platform and public website are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We work to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and continually improve our accessibility posture.
Target: WCAG 2.1 Level AA · In progress

What We've Done

The following measures have been taken to improve accessibility across the Akili Suite platform and public website:

  • Semantic HTML structure. All pages use proper heading hierarchy (H1–H4), landmark elements (nav, main, footer), and ARIA roles where native semantics are insufficient.
  • Keyboard navigation. All interactive elements - navigation, modals, dropdowns, forms - are fully keyboard-operable. The Escape key closes all overlays. Focus is managed on modal open/close.
  • ARIA labels on all controls. Icon-only buttons, social links, form fields, and navigation elements carry descriptive aria-label attributes.
  • Colour contrast. All primary text meets or exceeds WCAG AA contrast ratios. The platform uses a high-contrast dark theme (near-black background, light type) by default.
  • No reliance on colour alone. Status indicators (risk levels, invoice states, health signals) use both colour and text/icon labels - colour is never the sole communication channel.
  • Responsive design. All pages are fully functional at 320px viewport width. Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Reduced motion support. Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query - all non-essential animations are disabled for users who have requested it.
  • Passwordless authentication. Magic-link email authentication removes the cognitive and motor burden of password entry and management for all users.
  • Form error identification. All form validation errors are communicated via text (not colour alone) and are associated with the relevant input field using ARIA attributes.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the platform have known accessibility limitations that we are actively working to address:

  • Canvas visualisations. The particle network background on several pages is rendered on a <canvas> element and carries no accessible alternative. It is marked aria-hidden="true" as it is decorative only.
  • Chart and data visualisation. The SVG analytics charts in the Reports module currently lack detailed text alternatives. We are adding aria-describedby data summaries in the next release.
  • PDF invoice export. PDFs generated via html2pdf.js are not yet tagged for screen reader compatibility. Accessible PDF generation is on the roadmap for Q3 2026.
  • War Room real-time chat. The WebSocket-driven War Room chat interface has limited screen reader support in its current form. An accessible alternative view is planned.

Technical Specification

Technologies used

Akili Suite relies on the following technologies for accessibility conformance: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES2022+), WAI-ARIA 1.1. The platform uses vanilla HTML/CSS/JS on the frontend with no third-party UI frameworks that could introduce accessibility regressions.

Assessment approach

Akili Suite Technologies evaluates accessibility through self-assessment using browser developer tools, axe-core browser extension, keyboard-only navigation testing, and screen reader testing with macOS VoiceOver and NVDA on Windows. We have not yet engaged an independent third-party accessibility audit - this is planned for H2 2026.

Supported assistive technologies

The platform is tested for compatibility with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows, and standard keyboard navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, Arrow keys) across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
