CALD Assist

CALD Assist is an innovative application designed to bridge communication gaps between healthcare professionals and patients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In situations where an interpreter is unavailable, this tool is indispensable, helping clinicians provide better care and support to their patients.

The application contains a wealth of resources, including a repertoire of over 250 phrases frequently used in basic care and screening assessments. These are not only translated but also audio-recorded in 11 of the most common languages, such as Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and Vietnamese, among others. The inclusion of multilingual support with culturally sensitive content proves pivotal in maintaining respect and understanding in a clinical setting.

Standout features include specialized modules tailored to different medical disciplines like Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, and Speech Pathology. With the added support of images, videos, and answer options for patient responses, the platform streamlines the communication process in a visually engaging manner. Additionally, the software features a COVID-19 screening module, crucial for conducting health and visitor screenings amidst ongoing healthcare challenges.

Praised for its contribution to health equality, the game has garnered recognition, securing the Health Roundtable Innovation Award twice and the Victorian Public Healthcare Award. By enabling effective communication, it plays a crucial role in improving patient care outcomes.
