Adaptation to the new corporate design of the SCS and fix of minor errors
TRADASSAN facilitates communication among workers of a Health Service and foreign users who have difficulties with the local language. The application has a configuration menu for choosing the languages involved in the communication process (professional-user); currently composed of: Spanish, English, French, German, Chinese, Arabic.
Its first version contains a vocabulary of 700 keywords for each language (which is over 4000 audio files included in the app).
For ease of use, is divided into categories based on professional activity in the various processes of care, based on standardized criteria and standard terms used in daily clinical activity. This app can be used both by the patient traveling to a country with one of these languages as staff receiving this foreign person in a health center network. .
By browsing the application, presents the different thematic areas and once within them, we find expressions in both languages. By clicking on it, it plays the sound of it in the appropriate language. The phrases are already in the app by default (which is not to use a translator), but it benefits from no need for internet connection.
