Abstract
For the disability community, there are many barriers to inclusion in public health initiatives, including screening programs and illness prevention. Physical barriers and social biases have long been impediments to access, but with the rapid creation of new digital health technologies, digital barriers have now become an additional problem. This paper illustrates via example the ways in which new digital barriers to inclusion are emerging, and it outlines the ways in which existing forms of physical and social exclusion become encoded into digital health technologies. The conclusion outlines why disability inclusion in digital health is necessary for social justice and equality in public health.
