Positioned as “critical companion for practicing physicians, medical trainees, nurses and paramedics” QxMD Software’s MedSpeak Mandarin and Cantonese Translators fill a gap in the market. The $9.99 iPhone apps provide more than 3,300 medical phrases, with English text and Mandarin or Cantonese translations in both written and audio formats. Nursing, rehabilitation, pharmacy, and medical topics are covered, and content can be sorted by category, topic, and symptom. With more travellers around the world from mainland China, these apps could be useful for healthcare professionals in major tourist hubs.
