Great project though I was assuming that Patient Navigator was an actual person. Any tool to help patients keep record of their doctor visits is an important first step. Just wondering if there has been any thought in translating your materials into other languages so that non-English speaking populations would also benefit from your products? It might also be helpful to employ a Spanish speaker (if you haven't already) that could assist with those who do not have high levels of education and are especially challenged with medical terminology. I would strongly recommend that if you go this route that you work with trained/certified health interpreters who are best suited to work with patients and medical providers. Thank you for your great work!Keep it up!
Thank you for your interest in the Patient Navigator. Yes, we are considering translating the Patient Navigator into other languages. We are just trying to "walk before we run..." Great feedback though...
