About

Canopy® Apps is led by a team of individuals passionate about improving access to healthcare for underserved patients.  Within this patient population, those who do not understand English in the United States are especially vulnerable.

Our set of language assistance solutions aims to eradicate the language barrier in healthcare to improve care for these patients, and to help make visiting the doctor a more dignifying process.  We tackle this from multiple angles, including tools for quick and effective translation, medical language learning, and bilingual healthcare provider certification.



Our History

Canopy® Apps is a subsidiary of Transcendent Endeavors (formerly LanguageMate), award recipients of over a dozen National Institutes of Health awards to develop and evaluate technology to improve effective communication in healthcare.

Why does a healthcare system blessed with so many scientific advances and remarkably talented personnel suffer such pervasive operational challenges and fiscal difficulties? What if there are better tools to inform patients and equip providers for the work they do? How can such tools improve the quality of care for countless patients, bringing positive change to the system as a whole? These questions compelled the Canopy team to search for solutions to address the persistent challenges in healthcare delivery. Looking into various methods of care provision, we realized that, though much innovation has occurred in the development of better health diagnostics and therapeutics, there was a near complete absence of technology-enabled innovations addressing communication obstacles in medical, public health, and social service settings. Thus, the vision was born, and the team made a life-long commitment to the cause.
