ABOUT MiTRANSLATOR

MiTranslator is a medical information QR code translation system and a specialized tool used in healthcare to make medical documents and information accessible in different languages.

HOW IT WORKS

MiTranslator works by encoding medical data into QR codes, which users can scan with their smartphones.

Once scanned, the system translates the content from the source language to the target language, making it comprehensible for patients and healthcare providers who may not speak the original language. This system enhances communication in healthcare, ensuring that vital medical information, such as records, prescriptions, and instructions, can be understood by individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds, ultimately improving patient care and safety.

WHY MiTRANSLATOR?

Offering different language versions of medical information is important for several critical reasons:

Understanding

People who speak different languages need to understand medical info to make good decisions about their health.

Safety

Getting medical instructions wrong because of language problems can be dangerous. Providing info in different languages prevents mistakes.

Respecting Cultures

Different cultures have different beliefs about health. Giving info in their language shows respect for those beliefs.

Laws and Rules

In some places, it's the law to offer medical info in multiple languages to make healthcare fair for everyone.

Easy Learning

Not everyone is good at understanding medical terms. Translating info makes it easier for everyone to learn about their health.

Emergencies

In emergencies, quick and correct treatment is crucial. Having info in the right language can save lives.

Trust and Happiness

People trust and like healthcare providers more when they offer info in their language. This can lead to better healthcare.

Prevention

Info in different languages encourages people to take care of their health and catch problems early.

Community Health

For public health campaigns, giving info in different languages helps spread important health messages.

Same Words in Many Languages

OUR FOUNDERS STORY

QRV Health Solutions was established from the ongoing fourteen year partnership between James Ohene-Djan and entrepreneur Duncan Barclay. At our core is a focus on sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity.

These values and our lived experiences have helped guide our innovative approach to simple healthcare solutions. James, (Professor of Computer Science at Goldsmiths), and his sister Louise, (Professor of Pharmacy in Practise and Policy at UCL) were long term carers of their brother, Tony, and mother, Betty.

Their complicated needs meant there were touchpoints across the whole spectrum of the healthcare industry. Driven by his problem solving and visionary mindset, James teamed with healthcare insiders to design simple solutions to address their complex problems.
