Aid for ED Doctors Who Do Not Speak English

The eFLAG can be used on a PC or be loaded in a Pocket PC, and it also comes in a print version. The regular version of eFLAG is currently being used by more than 6,000 medical practitioners worldwide in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and emergency medical services to improve the quality of care for non-English-speaking patients.

Less than 20% of the world's population speaks English. The purpose of the eFLAG products is to reduce the sense of helplessness experienced by patients who cannot understand or make themselves understood in a medical setting. While the products do not attempt to replace trained medical interpreters, they enable communication in situations where immediate action is required and no interpreters are readily available. The eFLAG products were developed by Medi-Flag Corp. (McHenry, MD, USA).
