Dakota Integrated Solutions Ltd, a real-time data capture, printing, mobility, support and voice-directed solution specialist, is delighted to announce its partnership with Pocketalk to include a two-way translation solution to its ever-growing product portfolio.
Empowering clinical professionals by eliminating language barriers instantly in any healthcare setting including hospitals, GP surgeries, pharmacies, nursing homes and specialist care locations, the Pocketalk solution is a handheld, portable, two-way translation device that facilitates instant conversation to enhance and enable patient-provider communication.
The user simply selects the languages required and speaks into the device microphone, while a camera enables instantaneous text translation, helping to reduce costly interpreter service expenses and administrative overheads.
The Pocketalk device is compact, user-friendly and secure, adding value to healthcare professionals at every level whilst saving patients and healthcare staff time and stress during appointments to maximise resources, improve patient outcomes and enhance patient integration within the healthcare system via quicker and more accurate communication.
Alongside the dedicated handheld device, the Pocketalk Enterprise App is also available for use on most third-party mobile devices. While the app utilises the same powerful translation engine, the Pocketalk device features a specialised noise-cancelling microphone that ensures superior voice capture and the highest possible translation accuracy.
Cost-effective and with no monthly payment plan required, the Pocketalk solution offers unmatched data security and privacy alongside compliance with GDPR and EU regulations. Unlike well-known consumer translation apps on personal mobile phones, the Pocketalk solution is extremely accurate, does not breach any NHS data security protocols by using third party translation services/providers and ensures that no conversation is stored on any personal device that may have been used for this purpose previously.
Philip Jarrett, Commercial Director at Dakota comments, “We are delighted to now be able to further enhance our healthcare solution offering thanks to our new partnership with Pocketalk. With NHS Trusts routinely being asked to reduce their spend whilst providing enhanced patient safety and care, the Pocketalk solution will go a long way in lessening costly translation services. Effective patient and caregiver communication is now available at the touch of a button quickly and easily, helping to break barriers, build connections across the healthcare sector and ensure smooth multilingual interactions. The accompanying Ventana administration tool offers a secure, centralised administrative panel to gain reporting on usage and translations.”
