Help Moana Scribe understand the Pacific.
Choose your country and language, then say short clinic sentences in your own language, on your phone or laptop. About 15 minutes of your voice helps patients be understood and gives doctors, nurses and health workers more time with them.
- Every Pacific language is welcome
- About 15 minutes on any phone or laptop
- Private. Used only to build Moana's health tools
A message from Wesley
Wesley Semi, Founder and CEO, Moana Digital Health
Talofa lava, Mālō e lelei, Bula vinaka, Kia orana, and warm greetings from all of us at Moana.
Wherever you are from in the Pacific, you will know this story. A nurse on an outer island, a doctor in a busy town clinic, a health worker in the highlands: they spend a big part of every day typing notes, and every minute at the keyboard is a minute not spent with the person in front of them. Queues get longer. Staff get tired. And patients, especially our elders, often have to explain what is wrong in a language that is not their own.
We built Moana Scribe to change that. It listens to a consultation and writes the clinical notes for the clinician to check and sign. It already works in English.
But the Pacific does not speak only English. We speak Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Tok Pisin, Tuvaluan, Tokelauan, Cook Islands Māori, Bislama, Kiribati and hundreds of other languages, and we move between them and English in the same sentence. Today's speech technology barely understands any of them, because almost nobody has recorded them. If we want technology that understands us, we have to teach it ourselves, with our own voices.
Every voice you add helps Moana Scribe understand a patient describing their pain in their own words, and helps a clinician give their full attention back to that patient. Patients feel heard. Clinicians get time back. Care gets better, on every island.
Moana is built for the Pacific. We share the same realities, and we can solve them together. Thank you for being part of it.
Fa'afetai tele lava.
Wesley
Choose your language
Pick your country and the language you speak. Tell us a little about yourself. No address, no phone number.
Say clinic sentences your way
We show a short sentence a patient or clinician might say. You type it in your language the way you would say it, then say it out loud.
Talk freely, if you like
An optional minute or two in your own words. Natural speech is the most valuable of all.
Every voice counts
From Papua New Guinea to the Cook Islands, from Palau to Tonga, we need grandparents and teenagers, women and men, people at home on the islands and our families in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. Patients, carers, doctors, nurses and health workers: everyone who has ever been part of a clinic visit can help.
