Better Communication, Better Care

Loquens is a clinician-founded startup with one goal: to close the communication gap between healthcare workers and their patients.

Language barriers, hearing loss, and cognitive impairment affect millions of patients across Australian healthcare settings. Yet the tools to address them remain fragmented, non-compliant, or simply not built for real clinical environments.

We are changing that.

The Patient

Imagine you are in a health facility, uncertain about your own health and situation. You don't know what is happening, why, or what comes next.

Now imagine you cannot communicate with the staff caring for you. Perhaps you've had a stroke and struggle to find words. Perhaps you are deaf, or speak a different language. Perhaps a breathing tube prevents you from speaking at all.

You cannot express pain. You cannot ask questions. You cannot make a basic human connection with the people responsible for your care.

These barriers don't just affect comfort. They affect clinical outcomes.

The Clinician

Now imagine you are the healthcare worker on the other side of that conversation.

You are managing multiple patients with complex needs in a high-pressure environment. You are doing your best, but time is short. The person in front of you cannot understand what you are saying, or communicate what they need.

You cannot build rapport. You cannot explain a procedure or obtain informed consent. You cannot be sure your patient understands their own diagnosis.

Without the right tools, even the most skilled and compassionate clinician is limited by the barrier between them and their patient.

This gap exists in every ward, every day. Healingua was built to close it.

About Loquens

Loquens - Latin for "speaking" - was founded by a Speech-Language Pathologist with over a decade of clinical experience.

We understand the science of communication - how it works, where it breaks down, and what it takes to overcome barriers in real clinical environments. Our products are built from the bottom-up by clinicians for clinicians, to be staff friendly, client centred, policy compliant, and to simply work.

Healingua is our first offering to bridge the communication gap - currently in development and backed by Investment NSW. We are seeking pilot partners across hospital, aged care, and community health settings.

Products by healthcare workers, for healthcare workers - enabling better health outcomes and human connection.
