Abstract

Providing urgent and emergency care to migrant children is often hampered or delayed. Reasons for this are language barriers when children, and their care givers, don’t speak any of the languages commonly spoken in Switzerland, which include German, French, Italian, and English. By a participatory design process, we want to develop a novel image-based digital communication aid tailored to the needs of migrant patients and nurses within Swiss paediatric clinics.
