Patient Safety Movement Foundation Launches PatientAider® Mobile App in Arabic
Summary
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF) announced today that it has launched the PatientAider® app in Arabic for iPhone and Android users. This was made possible by the Saudi Patient Safety Center who, as a Committed Partner of the PSMF, volunteered to translate the content of PatientAider to Arabic to serve more than 420 million patients who speak Arabic across the world. PatientAider is designed to cut through confusing medical jargon to provide plain-language explanations of medical terms, protocols, and risks that patients may encounter when they go into the healthcare environment. In light of the pandemic, COVID-19 resources for patients and family members have also been translated into Arabic within the mobile app. “We are thrilled to launch the PatientAider app with the help of our partner the Saudi Patient Safety Center and know that information is power,” said David Mayer, Chief Executive Officer of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation.
