Honored with a Gold award at the Edison Best New Product Awards in April 2011, Phrazer is an interactive, multilingual communication system. The ergonomic handheld features a touch-screen interface that identifies what language a patient speaks and then collects his/her information, medical history, symptoms and complaints — all performed using interactive, prerecorded videos of a culturally familiar doctor speaking the patient's preferred language. The patient-entered information is summarized into the caregiver's language and can be accessed on the device or through the facility's EHR system. One unit holds more than 100 languages.
