CareVoice 从一张我给姥爷做的纸质卡片开始。

姥爷手术住院后，因为不会说英语，连“我需要水”，“我想上厕所”，“我需要一条毯子“这样简单的需求，有时也很难及时告诉护士。于是我做了一张中英文对照卡，让他需要什么的时候，可以直接指给护士看。

这张卡真的帮到了他。我也开始想，也许还有很多病人会遇到同样的问题。

于是，我把这张纸卡做成了 CareVoice。

CareVoice 是一个简单的双语住院沟通工具，帮助语言不通的病人表达基本需求，也希望让家人少一点担心。它完全免费，无需安装，也不会收集您的个人信息。

CareVoice 来自我们家一个很小的需要。我希望它也能帮助更多像我姥爷一样的人。

CareVoice started with a paper card I made for my grandpa.

My grandpa stayed in the hospital for two weeks after surgery. He does not speak English, so even simple things like "I need water", "I need to use the bathroom", or "I need a blanket" could be hard for him to communicate. So I made a bilingual Chinese-English card that he could point to and show the nurses what he needed.

The card helped him. It also made me wonder how many other patients face the same problem.

So I turned that paper card into CareVoice.

CareVoice is a simple bilingual communication tool for hospital patients. It helps people express basic needs when language gets in the way, and hopefully gives their families a little more peace of mind. It is completely free, requires no installation, and does not collect personal information.

CareVoice started with one small need in my family. I hope it can help more people like my grandpa.
