MediLingo is an evidence-based mobile learning application designed specifically for medical terminology. We’ve incorporated language learning strategies, as well as insights from our early adopters, which have included first year nursing students to create a learning platform which helps our users to read, pronounce, spell, and recall the meaning of medical terms.
Users can complete lessons, work through quiz questions, practice with flashcards, listen to audio pronunciations, or search the medical dictionary from any internet connected device. smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
Some of our students have even dubbed MediLingo as the Duolingo for medical terminology.
Medical terminology can be considered a language in its own right. However, tutors in higher education institutions have limited time allocated in the curriculum to teach medical terms.
Our team’s multidisciplinary skill set positions us as the ideal founders of MediLingo, the app that helps users learn medical terminology like a language.
MediLingo is an innovative tool incorporating several language learning techniques to help users master medical terms at their own pace and is an accessible tool that can be used in university study or clinical practice.
