Phrazer offers a new and more effective way to communicate in critical situations. Within seconds, the device will establish the native language of a patient and enable the care provider to quickly obtain relevant information to effectively evaluate and address a given situation. The automated procedures, interactive animations and artificial intelligence add both speed and control to patient interaction and care delivery. In addition, the device leverages communication theory techniques to aid in reducing stress levels and calm patients during critical periods, increasing the ability to quickly assess and treat the individual.
Example: An inner-city fire and rescue service unit in the Midwestern United States responds to a variety of critical situations involving individuals from a broad spectrum of cultures and backgrounds. The Phrazer is a critical piece of this unit’s response process, as it enables the emergency responders to quickly interact with individuals in their native language, calming the patient and allowing for an effective assessment of the situation. As standard vital signs and measurements are obtained, the device identifies the patient’s native language and begins to identify additional areas of concern that may not be readily apparent and need to be addressed. In a matter of seconds, the emergency responder now has a clear understanding of visible and non-visible symptoms and is able to interact with the patient to effectively address the situation.
