The digital transformation of healthcare platforms has ushered in a new era of accessibility, making health information and services widely available. This comprehensive scoping review delves into the accessibility landscape of health platforms by analyzing 29 carefully selected research articles. These studies employ automated tools and manual evaluations to evaluate platform accessibility comprehensively. This study revealed that (52%) of these articles are based on automated methods, while 34% combine automated and manual approaches. Most studies show compliance with the latest versions of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), with a significant focus (70%) on compliance with level A. This study reveals recurring issues within the perceivable operable, understandable, and robust categories, underscoring the pressing need for strict the accessibility testing of health platforms. This study demonstrates substantial agreement between raters, reinforced by a Cohen’s kappa coefficient of 0.613, indicating their reliability in classifying the articles. Future efforts should persist in refining accessibility standards, advocating for compliance with the WCAG, exploring innovative methods to assess the accessibility of healthcare platforms, and conducting user-centered research. This review highlights the paramount importance of ensuring equitable access to health information and services for people, regardless of their abilities or conditions, which resonates significantly with the issue of sustainability in healthcare and its socioeconomic and environmental implications.

Gamification, project-based learning, and innovative use of technology in special education promise to revolutionize how we educate and support students with special needs in the schools today providing new opportunities for these students. Education nowadays is moving away from rote learning towards dynamic, interactive, and enjoyable educational experiences. Interactive educational approaches have gained considerable momentum not only in mainstream education but also as an important tool in special education. By infusing fun and engagement into learning, teachers have the potential to unlock the talents of students with special educational needs or the gifted and talented. It is the collective responsibility of educators of the future to ensure an inclusive and supportive educational environment for all students, meeting their needs, and supporting them to reach their potential regardless of their abilities or challenges.
