Problem
Foreign patients in Czech hospitals often cannot communicate effectively with medical staff due to language differences, leading to misunderstandings, delayed care, and unpaid medical invoices.
Solution
Galenio offers a web‑based application that provides real‑time translation of messages, questions, and alerts between patients who do not speak Czech and their doctors. The platform instantly converts text entered by either party, enabling direct communication without the need for a human interpreter. Translated exchanges are stored, allowing patients to revisit instructions and doctors to review patient concerns. By removing the language barrier, the system helps hospitals deliver clearer care, reduce stressful situations for patients, and improve billing compliance.
Target Audience
Primary users are Czech hospitals, clinics, and individual physicians who serve non‑Czech‑speaking patients, as well as foreign patients seeking clear communication during their medical visits.
