Our Mission
Making Healthcare Inclusive
Show&Tell was born from real experiences. As international students in ESCP's BSc program, we all struggled to explain medical issues in a foreign language. The anxiety of not being understood during a health emergency inspired us to create the simple, universal tool we wished we had.
Our mission is to remove language barriers in healthcare, making medical communication accessible to everyone, everywhere. We believe that quality healthcare should never be limited by language, and we're committed to creating practical solutions that work in real-world medical settings.
