Interested in CanopySpeak for your Organization?

The tool that allows your team to shine, cut time, and save lives.

You have a strong team. But many interactions between healthcare providers and patients with limited English proficiency are compromised due to the cumbersome logistics and budget constraints involved in procuring certified medical interpreters at every point of contact.

The shortage and high cost of interpreters minutes results in long wait times, revenue  stress, and worse patient outcomes, all of which negatively impact staff satisfaction.

CanopySpeak is a language proficiency practice app developed for health systems to empower their providers to communicate directly with patients with limited English proficiency and improve overall quality of care when calling an interpreter may be impractical or impossible. Users will  learn and practice routine medical phrases in foreign languages and apply them confidently in patient-clinician scenarios, while organization leaders track the teams learning and clinical progress.

Uniquely developed by our team of expert linguists, CanopySpeak delivers an innovative and customizable learning experience for 10 medical specialties and features clinical support tools so that your team can use it confidently and directly with patients in time of your most urgent need.

 

  CanopySpeak takes a 2-in-1 approach to help you learn, practice, and apply your medical language skills in real patient-clinician scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is CanopySpeak for?
CanopySpeak is for any healthcare organization, higher education institution, or provider that would like to support direct communication between staff and patients to help your team improve patient outcomes, enhance staff satisfaction, and lift ROI.

How many languages does CanopySpeak support?
Speak currently supports 5,000 human-reviewed phrases in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, with dozens of other languages currently being developed by our team of expert linguists.

I already have some staff that speak Spanish and we have an interpreter service. Is CanopySpeak for me?
Absolutely! Interpreters are the gold standard of language access, but they are expensive and there are rarely enough around to cover your needs at all times. Even if you have team members that speak Spanish, medical terminology can still seem like a foreign language. Additionally, CanopyLearn + CanopyLearn, the #1 medical Spanish course in the US, are a terrific combination to help your team (even those non-fluent speakers) learn, practice, and apply their medical language training. With the complete Canopy Professional Development Bundle, your organization can further Qualified Bilingual Staff certify team members based on their placement on our fluency scale and ensure your team is compliant with ACA 1557. 

Is this app available on Android?
CanopySpeak is currently only available as an iOS app, but we plan to develop an Android version soon. 

Is this a learning app or a medical translation tool?
BOTH! Provider Learning Mode gives staff and clinicians exercises to strengthen their spoken language skills while Clinical Mode works as an intermediary and smart phrasebook that you can use directly with patients (when you need it most).
