Hospital & Health Care - London, England, United Kingdom
Written Medicine was founded in 2012 on the principles of increasing patient access to medical information. Working in pharmacies on the high street in London's vibrant multicultural communities presents a persistent communication barrier where patients don't speak English. Our aim is to improve the current state of affairs where these patients are excluded from the benefits provided by the established health infrastructure for not being proficient in English. Our cloud-based software makes use of a database of hand-compiled phrases that we have translated by professional translators in a 4-stage development process. The last stage of this process is testing by a UK qualified pharmacist who is literate in the translated language. Our vision is to re-energise the pharmacy sector and push for equal patient rights. We will provide healthcare-related information to anyone who needs it, in a language they understand. After all, those who are empowered can take command of, and responsibility for, their own health.
