Fantastic!
Aug 20, 2018 By justahoomanGood translation resources are hard to find for multiple languages that are also accessible to students. Canopy helps me describe procedures to patients in languages I don’t know or do even do know but with which I am not familiar with medical terminology. Next step for improvement would be a list of questions, much like an intake form that you could click through instead of having to go to each section separately. more -
This app is amazing
Jan 25, 2017 By SereneSilverI'm a medical student and have been using this app for the last 7 months. It has been such a blessing both for me and for my team when there simply no time or when its inconvenient to find the translator phone. The user interface is easy to use and its a great way to teach myself medically relevant and correct words. more -
Love it!
Oct 17, 2016 By JuliaMAgeeSometimes the translator phone is broken or too far away and you and a patient need to communicate something right away. In those situations, this probably helps reduce healthcare disparities for non English speaking patients. It is especially great for asking someone to take a deep breath as they are waking up from anesthesia! more -

Nursing please?
Jan 18, 2020 By TylerelkI love this app so far. I only wish that it had a section or playlist with more nursing-centric phrases. We talk to your patients more than you do! -

Amazing Clinical Tool
Mar 28, 2014 By 18and1It can sometimes be frustrating communicating with patients with limited English-speaking ability as are interpreters are not available around the clock. This app is an excellent tool to aid communication in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. It contains all the relevant phrases for initial history-taking, as well as follow up and reassessment and discharge. I have been able to use this app for Spanish-speaking patients without an interpreter present - the experiences have been seamless and the information obtained and conveyed complete. more

A really nice medical language app
Apr 8, 2014 By Jay, PGY-1This app is really easy to use. The common phrases are really nice as well as the ability to play the phrase for the patient instead of butchering the pronunciation. The ability to directly call my hospital's language line is another plus. The app is great when you need to talk to a patient and can't find the the interpreter phone on the floor. I highly recommend trying out this app. more -
essential tool
Aug 16, 2014 By avisualpersonthis is an incredibly smooth, simple to use, and fast software with no gimmicks and no costs. it simply provides over a dozen languages across multiple specialties (IM, EM, OB/GYN, etc.) in a simple easy to use format. You can play the translations or read them yourself for practice. I find it essential since I am down in Miami, Florida where Spanish, Haitian Creole and Russian are mainstays in the hospitals here. more

Useful!
Feb 3, 2015 By hazmat2I haven't yet needed to use the app in a real-world situation but did witness it's use the other day. Someone came into the ED and neither he nor his companions spoke more than a few words of English. The interpreter phone wasn't working and a hospital interpreter couldn't be there for another hour. And yes, this was an emergent situation. The resident pulled out Canopy and was able to get the information she needed to make the correct diagnosis. I believe in this case the diagnosis could have been made without the app but it would have taken more and and more tests. Canopy helped direct the exam and got treatment started more quickly. more -
Great app when it works
Mar 14, 2015 By EmjobobI really enjoy using this app to supplement my Spanish vocabulary and semantics when talking to patients. However, I have had a lot of trouble with it shutting down as soon as I open the app. Please fix this!!! I have a Spanish-speaking patient now in the hospital, and I could really use the help of the Canopy app. Thanks! more -
Really helpful for non English patients
Mar 19, 2014 By Erdoc2234Very useful for rounds and procedures. I have lots of non English speaking patient at my hospital and using this is much easier and better than the interpreter phone. Also can call our hospitals interpreters from the app, there's a directory of hospital interpreter phone numbers in the app! more

What’s Groovy
As a Medical student this has been an amazing resource. I started using it as a Tech on a surgical unit, but found it even more useful when asking complex questions in other languages. The app has superior organization of languages, specialties, and topics. I feel it has definitely improved my patient care for patients with limited English proficiency.
