Introduction

Remedic is a response to a call from the NHS for software that allows for high quality in-person patient-doctor consultation across a language-barrier without using a translator.

Internal studies by the NHS show a loss in quality of health and health-care provision where english is not the patients first language, despite spending over 20 million pounds a year on in-person translators. Remedic provides a solution by offering real-time translation at the time of consultation, as well as other services.
