As patient populations in South Korea become increasingly diverse, health care professionals have to look for innovative ways to communicate effectively across cultures, languages, and health literacy levels. This study proposed the creation of a smart phone application content for use in healthcare setting for patients who cannot express themselves in Korean. The promising features of the smart phone application includes: medical translations in 13 languages; translations about immediate medical necessities, symptoms, medical history or ask questions regarding medical treatment. Hospitals, clinics and health care professionals can use this application to ensure an effective patient-healthcare professional communication.
