Design ethics

Accessibility

Neuroljus treats accessibility as part of ethics, not polish. The project is especially sensitive to sensory load, caregiver fatigue, multilingual access, and the need to keep prototype signals in their proper context.

Current commitments

  • Prefer calm, screen-light interfaces over visually noisy experiences.
  • Keep prototype language clear where signals could otherwise be overinterpreted.
  • Support sensory-friendly controls such as low-stimulus, monochrome, and low-light modes in NL-VISION.
  • Use clear labels, readable contrast, keyboard-reachable controls, and responsive layouts.
  • Validate with target users before any pilot or active product use.

Before pilot use

  • Formal WCAG audit.
  • Testing with caregivers and neurodivergent users.
  • Consent and assent flows suitable for vulnerable contexts.
  • Clearer multilingual accessibility review across English, Swedish, and Spanish.
  • Documented pause criteria for experiences that increase distress or sensory load.
