In today's world, tech is everywhere, especially in healthcare. Digital health tools promise big improvements, but they might leave some people behind. People with blindness often face unique challenges, but what about those who are tech-savvy and educated? This group has a different story to tell. Many studies look at people with blindness as one big group. They focus on access to tech and digital skills. But what about the details? What about the experiences of young adults who are both educated and good with tech? This study zooms in on them. These young adults have strong digital skills. But do these skills help them in healthcare? Or do they still hit roadblocks? The study digs into this question. It looks at how their tech skills mix with the bigger picture of healthcare systems and infrastructure. The findings show a mix of good and bad. On one hand, these young adults can use digital health tools well. On the other hand, they still face barriers. These barriers come from the system itself, not just their abilities. This study sheds light on a often overlooked group. It shows that being tech-savvy doesn't always mean smooth sailing. There's more to the story than meets the eye.
