Canopy Speak

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.

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.

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.
