" “Embracing differences, and learning from an array of academic and life lessons are what fuel my passions. As a part of the Millennium Fellowship, I look forward to broadening my perspective as I learn from every experience and interaction. This experience is a privilege and honor as a first-generation college student.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Med Speak!
In a world with thousands of languages and differing dialects, having your voice heard can get lost in translation. When it comes to healthcare, this should not get in the way of being able to properly care for patients. Med Speak is a narrative visualization app that can help physicians, specialists, and patients ensure the best medical practices are at hand. While there are some programs out there for similar reasons, I believe a visual-based app can be more effective. This app will not only be for patients to communicate with physicians but for physicians to be able to explain procedures and plans of treatment as well. Patients can have it on their personal smart devices or medical offices can upload it to tablets that are mobile and can be easily accessible. It will be designed for communicative purposes in a similar manner to assistive technology for nonverbal peoples; i.e. nonverbal autistic.
The app will be simple to navigate.
