The platform
A digital platform that translates complex medical terminology into Indigenous languages, in text and audio, so patients and clinicians can communicate in culturally safe ways. Access is by request.
Born in the Pilbara
Indigenous and global languages across Australia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Ghana, New Zealand, Malaysia and more.
Inside the platform
How it works
Young Indigenous Champions partner with Elders to translate medical terms, capturing audio and cultural nuance.
Translations become text and audio entries on the Lyfe Languages web app.
Health services use the platform at the point of care: in waiting rooms, consultations and community outreach.
