List of Features

Speaks out the prescription

  • Medicine name

Translates Prescription

You can set the Our Pills Talk Medicine Safety App to operate in any one of dozens of languages. All your medical information will be translated into the language of your choice.

When the app is set to display in a foreign language the app titles are also shown in English in smaller text, so that a Locum doctor or Emergency Department staff in a hospital can still navigate the OurPillsTalk app to get the patient’s medication information. This will help to reduce Adverse Drug Events.
