Dr. Sign is a mobile application created to tackle the low health access deaf patients get in healthcare settings. Its aim is mainly to provide better health access for deaf patients by improving the communication between deaf patients and healthcare professionals through the innovation of tools such as an interactive chat that uses real-time speech-to-text features and a platform to learn British Sign Language (BSL). This ideation helps deaf patients to have better access to health in utilizing a more user-friendly avenue, potentially raises awareness for healthcare professionals to understand the issue, and possibly equips both deaf patients and healthcare professionals with BSL.
