ABOUT THE MDI

All about the
Medical Diagnosis Interpreter
MDI Main - About

When in need of medical assistance, receiving treatment or in the event of an emergency, getting help is crucial. Communicating your current state of health, allergies or pre-existing medical conditions quickly to a medical professional can be a matter of life and death. This situation can worsen when travelling and speaking to non-native English speakers. Medically trained individuals can provide you with the urgent care you need, but they might be struggling to understand what is being explained to them. To help you in this situation, we created the Medical Diagnosis Interpreter (MDI).

The MDI is an innovative way to indicate how you think and feel, using a range of illustrations and translated terms. The tool enables the medical professional to use the information shown to them to help diagnose any underlying problems. The MDI is grouped in logical sections. Some can be completed before seeking medical attention (sections A, B, C, D and H). The remaining sections can be used during an emergency (sections E, F and G).

All vital information is needed to help the medical professional make an informed diagnosis. A diagnosis will ultimately help treat the condition, virus or illness.

A successful diagnosis typically requires three elements of crucial information:

  • Details of any pains, conditions or symptoms you have been experiencing, what hurts, where and for how long
  • Any medications you have already taken and how long ago
  • Any allergies, pre-existing conditions and important information about you to help with the diagnosis and treatment

Knowing the local emergency telephone numbers is crucial, whether at home or abroad. The Gayther guide not only provides the various telephone numbers for the emergency services worldwide but also common phrases in the native language

When travelling, as a non-native speaker of a language or when you cannot speak, communicating how you think and feel to a medical practitioner can be challenging. The medical diagnosis interpreter, also known as the MDI, is a free click and point solution where you can use literal translations for up to 89 different languages
We all need help sometimes, and when we do, it is crucial to know where to get the right advice and support. There are millions of non-profit organisations, advice services, and support groups worldwide, services and solutions designed to help you in whatever you face. Search for support groups today

GUIDE TO PRINTING

Top tips on how to
print the MDI
MDI Print - Main
Step 1 – Click on any of the available MDI guides’ download links. Once downloaded, you will typically find the file in your downloads folder on your PC, laptop, or device.
MDI Print - Download
Step 2 – The MDI has been designed to be printed double-sided (a total of 6 sheets). Double-sided means the document will be printed on both sides of the sheets of paper. The MDI editions have been designed to be printed on a standard A4 sheet of paper; however, they will likely scale easily to other paper sizes. Finally, the MDI can be printed in both colour and black and white.
MDI Print - Double

Step 3 – If your printer has the double-side printing function available, you will likely be presented with several options; if available, select the ‘Short-Edge’ option within the binding options
