I hadn’t appreciated that was so difficult for you.
Can you be more specific? This would be highly valuable feedback for the Devs as they are keen for their software to be inclusive where possible.
No problem. On the map, I think there is a number in a larger circle when there are several people at a single location. There is insufficient contrast between the text and the background colour for me to distinguish them, especially the green on green. A higher contrast distinction between the two would make it easier for some without significantly impacting anyone else. I hope this is of some help. I guess it could be an option in settings, but this seems a disproportionate amount of work.
I haven’t looked at the UI map yet but Nathan flagged this post to me.
My background is as a clinician with a Computer Science PhD. My research is around accessibility standards.
As for developer standards for accessibility there isn’t many and if there are they are often based on web standards internationally. The common issue in literature so far is accessibility isn’t valued as much by finders, easily dropped and could be taught better.
I am looking at this need in my research I am at the beginning at present. There is some good UI standards from Germany one of my colleagues in the W3C Mobile Taskforce has produced they are currently in Beta and being used in health there. I will see if they are public yet. What I saw and gave comment on looked good and the elaborated on web standards to include native an other.
I would love to set up an NZ accessibility in digital health group as my research this far shows a need.

I understand the contrast issue myself the WCAG 2.2 includes recommendations on colour values in relation to contrast but the issue is much bigger and systemic in the access world.
