    Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a cornerstone in addressing global health challenges, accessibility needs, and promoting overall wellbeing. Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities highlights ICT accessibility as integral to ensuring equity and inclusion for persons with disabilities (PwDs) (World Health Organization, 2023). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates over one billion individuals live with disabilities, 80 % of whom are in low-income regions. These individuals face compounded challenges of exclusion and poverty, exacerbated by limited access to affordable and inclusive technologies (United Nations, 2025). © The authors © Elsevier.
