Missing the providers that can help with the communication problem!

I like what this app is trying to do. The list of people/providers is very limited though. If a patient cannot communicate, they will very soon need a medical interpreter (for a language barrier), or a speech language pathologist (for a speech or language impairment). One of those people can at least help them request everyone else.

Wonderful app for the patient on a ventilator!

This app needs more updates! It is truly a spectacular app for me, a patient who
Lives on a ventilator. This helps me communicate, with the people that are caring for me. I wish more people knew about this wonderful app. I wish this app had more ratings.

Language translation does not work.

I just downloaded this App and when trying to communicate the language translation fails. It returns an error code of 403.

Looking forward to this being optimized

This can be very helpful for brief interactions. I hope that in future versions the free text translation function works,And that there is a functionality to indicate that you are the physician/clinician who wishes to communicate and understand patients.
