New research in the ACM Digital Library examines how technology systems, including artificial intelligence, can overlook or exclude people with disabilities.

Gaps in data, design decisions, and lack of disability representation can lead to tools that do not meet real user needs. Researchers highlight the need to include disabled people throughout the design process and improve data practices.

Technology shapes access. When disability is not included, barriers are built into the system.

Too often, people with disabilities are excluded from health research and conversations about preventive care. The Center on Disability and CAMI Health, both programs of the Public Health Institute, want to change that by learning directly from women with disabilities about their experiences with breast cancer screening and health care providers.

We are currently recruiting participants for a short survey.

The survey asks about:
• Breast cancer screening experiences
• Mammograms and other testing
• Communication with providers
• Accessibility and support needs

Who is eligible?
• Born female
• Ages 18–74
• Have a disability or chronic health condition

Your feedback will help improve accessibility, provider education, and patient-centered breast health care. The survey closes on June 12, 2026.

Research from the Council on Quality and Leadership highlights how discrimination continues to shape healthcare experiences for people with disabilities.

Bias, lack of respect, and inaccessible systems can lead to poorer health outcomes and limited access to care. Studies show that discrimination contributes directly to health disparities and lower quality of care.

This issue is not only about individual interactions. It reflects broader systems that need to change to ensure equitable healthcare for people with disabilities.

Respect and access are essential parts of quality care.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).

This day focuses on the importance of access in both digital and physical spaces.

Accessibility means designing environments, tools, and information so people with disabilities can use them. This can include captions and alt text online, step-free entrances, or clear communication in meetings.

Accessibility is not an add-on. It shapes how people connect, create, and participate in everyday life.
