This project is an effort led by Jason and Shaina, who saw the need for better resources to support communication between healthcare professionals and patients, especially in the COVID-19 crisis.
We were inspired by the work of Sudesna Roy Chowdhury's website, a treasure trove of COVID-19-related translations for healthcare workers. We took that as a starting point of our project and did more field research and prototyping to come up with VisualAid. Read more about our process.
VisualAid is a volunteer-driven project and our contributors come from a wide range of organisations and backgrounds. Shout out to all the volunteers for burning weekends and late nights:
