## What is UKAPO?

UKAPO solves the problem of persons with disease who can not speak to explain their medical issues. UKAPO offers a multitude of specific medical symbols especially for physicians and pharmacists but as well for helpers and volunteers to communicate systematically the acute matter. This leads simultaneously to the right treatment of the disease.

UKAPO was developed based on pharmacies' wishes and realised in cooperation with them. The first two pages of UKAPO allow a consultation according to the consultation guidelines of the Deutsche Apothekerkammer. The other seven pages include health status, body parts, medication and other medical products and services.

### 5/5 — Perfect resource!

*2025-03-15*

Nice! FREE (at least when I downloaded it) - Simple, easy to use, perfect for a hospital or nursing home setting. This allows the user to select multiple icons at once - for example if an appointment needs to happen twice a week, you can select Monday and Wednesday, or if you want a patient to take half of a pill you can select the button showing a symbol with a pill cut in half. There is a pain scale too, and I like how you can select the “print” option in order to show all the buttons that were selected as part of a ‘plan’ you can then print out.
