For more information about Pocketalk and further discussion around collaboration opportunities, please talk to Matt Steel on matt.steel@pocketalk.com or visit https://www.pocketalk.com/en_gb/ Our focus is on deeper integrations with enterprise solutions, and as we grow our brand awareness, we are opening up conversations with key resellers and distributors to partner with, enabling more businesses and organisations to embed Pocketalk seamlessly into their workflows. As language diversity grows, we want to ensure that no one is left behind due to communication barriers. The research also showed that healthcare workers are losing as much as half a working day every week – four and a half hours – overcoming communication challenges. GP surgeries and hospital settings are using Pocketalk to improve patient communication, reducing delays and improve overall patient experience. The versatility of Pocketalk means that wherever communication is a challenge, we can offer a seamless solution. Q What’s next for Pocketalk? We are continuously refining our technology and expanding our capabilities to meet evolving needs.
time, so every student, including those who speak English as a first language, can receive the help they need in the classroom. Recently, we launched an initiative for five UK schools to become ambassadors for language diversity. The selected five schools are demonstrating how translation technology can encourage and aid equity in education. By providing instant support, the Pocketalk handheld device reduces reliance on human translators, limited online translation services and ensures every student can thrive. It also plays an important role in communicating with parents who don’t speak English, further supporting their children. Q Beyond education, where else is Pocketalk making an impact? In the UK, we are working across multiple sectors. As well as education, we are heavily focused on healthcare, logistics, Government and policing. In a public health context, language barriers can prevent patients from engaging quickly, accurately and easily in seamless conversations with their doctors. This can result in miscommunication which could potentially be life-threatening. Conversely, evidence shows that the better the communication between practitioner and patient, the better the clinical outcomes are. We understand the scale of the need in healthcare after a study with UK healthcare workers highlighted that more than a third of healthcare workers agreed that language barriers make it more difficult to assess a patient’s needs.
Our technology supports instant, accurate, two- way translation, bridging gaps in understanding and helping students feel more confident in the classroom.
