Medical interpreting / Care pathway

Before, during and after care,keep every word connected.

We help international patients and medical providers prepare information before an appointment, communicate accurately during care, and confirm the next steps afterwards. The support does not stop when the consultation ends.

This is not an emergency service. In an emergency in Japan, call 119 or contact the medical provider directly.

FormatOn-site or online

Arranged according to location, provider, and scope.

ForPatients and families
Providers and partners

Both sides can ask, answer, and confirm.

BoundaryLanguage and coordination
not medical decisions

Clinical decisions remain with the patient and licensed medical professionals.

Interpreting is more than one conversation.

Communication outside the consultation room matters too. Before the visit there are records and schedules. During the visit there are symptoms and explanations. Afterwards there are appointments, documents, and instructions.

TransHero Medical Desk treats these as one connected pathway, so the patient and provider can see what has been confirmed and what still needs attention.

I

Before the visit

We clarify the background of the inquiry and the information requested by the medical provider.

  • Preferred language, date, and purpose of the visit
  • Translation consultation for referrals, results, and questionnaires
  • Provider instructions and the plan for the day
II

During the visit

We interpret both the patient's words and the clinician's explanation neutrally, without omitting meaning.

  • Reception, interview, consultation, and examination explanations
  • Medication names, doses, numbers, dates, and proper names
  • Time for questions during consent and other important explanations
III

After the visit

We help the patient confirm the next actions communicated by the medical provider.

  • Follow-up visits, tests, and required documents
  • Translation consultation for certificates, referrals, and results
  • Instructions for remote contact or after returning home

Human support where meaning carries weight.

The TransHero app can help with short, everyday exchanges. For treatment plans, consent, examinations, admission, and other high-stakes explanations, a human medical interpreter supports a more careful conversation.

01

First visits, interviews, and tests

Support for confirming the course of symptoms, medical history, medication, allergies, and the purpose of examinations.

02

Specialist and regenerative medicine

The interpreter accurately connects the clinician's explanation and the patient's questions without making clinical decisions.

03

Admission, surgery, and consent

Support for conversations about schedules, precautions, costs, and consent without omitting important information.

04

Medical documents and follow-up

Translation consultation for referrals, medical certificates, questionnaires, and results, plus coordination of follow-up communication.

We define the scope before making arrangements.

The right setup depends on the request, provider, location, date, and language. We first confirm what support is needed, then agree on the assigned interpreter, format, and fee.

Send the outline

Share the purpose, preferred date, language, medical provider, and requested support as far as you know. We will explain how to send medical information securely in our reply.

Confirm the scope

We separate interpreting, document translation, scheduling, and accompaniment. Clinical decisions and treatment recommendations are outside our scope.

Agree on the arrangement

We confirm the language, on-site or online format, schedule, preparation materials, contact method, and fee before assigning support.

Support the visit and follow-up

During the visit we focus on interpreting. Afterwards we help confirm the next appointment and documents identified by the medical provider.

Confirm first. Then move quickly.

01 / Neutrality

Interpret neutrally

We connect both sides without adding explanations, steering treatment choices, or speaking in place of the clinician or patient.

02 / Read back

Check critical details

Medication names, doses, numbers, dates, and proper names are repeated or read back when needed.

03 / Preparation

Prepare terminology

Within the agreed scope, we review available materials and the plan for the day so the interpreter understands the setting.

04 / Minimum data

Collect only what is needed

We do not request unnecessary medical information at the inquiry stage. The method of sharing and handling information is confirmed separately.

Agree who decides, interprets, and confirms before the consultation.

Trust depends not only on interpreting quality, but on clear roles. Before work begins, we separate clinical decisions, neutral language support, and the patient’s own questions and choices.

This register explains public responsibility boundaries. It is not an individual patient record. The actual scope is agreed for each request and medical institution.

The verification report is a starting point for examining translation quality.

TransHero publishes a 13-case comparison with general translation services. It documents how the app handles context and translation design. It is not evidence of medical care or treatment outcomes.

Medical interpreting and the TransHero app serve different roles, so the support can match the situation.
