Our approach

Inclusive Communication

We believe in making healthcare information accessible for all.

So we built a digital "One Stop Communication Shop" to empower staff and patients to communicate across any barrier.

Now we want to become a movement for change.

CardMedic In Action
OUR INSPIRATION

The Human Element

CardMedic is an innovative and multi award-winning website and app designed to improve communication between healthcare staff and patients, across any barrier – whether that’s visual, hearing or cognitive impairment, a language barrier, or PPE (personal protective equipment). CardMedic encompasses an A-Z collection of digital flashcards accessible via smart phone, tablet or desktop. Written by clinical experts, simply and succinctly, CardMedic replicates conversations around common healthcare topics with simple questions and explanations to guide the clinical interaction.

Meet The Founders

Rachael Grimaldi
Tim Grimaldi

Our founders, Rachael and Tim, were inspired to create CardMedic after reading a news article about a critically ill Covid-19 survivor, terrified when unable to understand healthcare staff through the PPE barrier. This struck a chord. It highlighted the daily struggles and health inequalities faced by patients with communication challenges, over hundreds of years. Stuck abroad at the height of the pandemic and unable to return home to work on the frontline, CardMedic was established to ensure that every patient can be offered healthcare information in a format they understand.

Our Mission

Offer Patient-Centred Care
