The Health Care Communication App features 276 original, hand-drawn icons depicting ailments, wants, needs, questions and foods. Touch an icon and it SPEAKS! Change the settings in preferences and it TRANSLATES language. The app can be configured so that text is written in one language and spoken in another - a huge advantage in multi-lingual settings.
The icons are divided into 7 helpful pages:
URGENT PAGE- includes a Pain Scale to determine where and how bad one hurts. Touch an area on the body image and a marker is left to tell the caregiver WHERE he's hurting. Touch the scale between 0-10 to convey how bad one hurts. Along side the Pain Scale are basic communication icons to help a new patient communicate his wants and needs.
QUESTIONS PAGE - 21 common questions patients ask.
PHYSICAL PAGE - icons depict physical wants and needs.
EMOTIONAL PAGE - icons represent emotional wants and needs.
ICU PAGE - features LARGER icons for visual assistance.
PEDIATRICS PAGE- needs and wants of children.
FOOD PAGE - common foods and drinks.
