Nursing please?

I love this app so far. I only wish that it had a section or playlist with more nursing-centric phrases. We talk to your patients more than you do!

Fantastic!

Good translation resources are hard to find for multiple languages that are also accessible to students. Canopy helps me describe procedures to patients in languages I don’t know or do even do know but with which I am not familiar with medical terminology.

Next step for improvement would be a list of questions, much like an intake form that you could click through instead of having to go to each section separately.

Awesome

Family medicine doctor here... This app is amazing

Amazing

For quick postop checks and clinic visits.

Great language app

As a Medical student this has been an amazing resource. I started using it as a Tech on a surgical unit, but found it even more useful when asking complex questions in other languages. The app has superior organization of languages, specialties, and topics. I feel it has definitely improved my patient care for patients with limited English proficiency.

Incredible resource

Thank you Canopy creators for providing a comprehensive and truly useful resource for health care providers to communicate with many different patients in so many scenarios. Much appreciated for its scope and quality, and no obtrusive ads! This is an amazing and free public health resource. Please keep up all you're doing!

This app is amazing

I'm a medical student and have been using this app for the last 7 months. It has been such a blessing both for me and for my team when there simply no time or when its inconvenient to find the translator phone.

The user interface is easy to use and its a great way to teach myself medically relevant and correct words.

Love it!

Sometimes the translator phone is broken or too far away and you and a patient need to communicate something right away. In those situations, this probably helps reduce healthcare disparities for non English speaking patients. It is especially great for asking someone to take a deep breath as they are waking up from anesthesia!

ER

Helps a lot with ER nursing

Best medical translator

This is, by far, the best free medical translator app I've seen. Keep up the good work.

Good resource

Have used spanish and mandarin chinese sections while at clinics. Can confirm that both are well translated and the speaking pronunciation is good too, more on the formal side

Great!

Such a great tool as a physician assistant student in a mainly Spanish speaking OBGYN office!

Great app

App works great. Helps out a lot with translating different phrases in medicine

Great communication tool for routine interactions

Saves time and cost of finding in-person interpreter for common, routine patient interactions

Great app when it works

I really enjoy using this app to supplement my Spanish vocabulary and semantics when talking to patients. However, I have had a lot of trouble with it shutting down as soon as I open the app. Please fix this!!! I have a Spanish-speaking patient now in the hospital, and I could really use the help of the Canopy app. Thanks!

Keeps crashing

What's the point of having it on your finger when it doesn't open?

Useful!

I haven't yet needed to use the app in a real-world situation but did witness it's use the other day. Someone came into the ED and neither he nor his companions spoke more than a few words of English. The interpreter phone wasn't working and a hospital interpreter couldn't be there for another hour. And yes, this was an emergent situation. The resident pulled out Canopy and was able to get the information she needed to make the correct diagnosis.

I believe in this case the diagnosis could have been made without the app but it would have taken more and and more tests. Canopy helped direct the exam and got treatment started more quickly.
