Abstract
An instruction generation system and related methods to allow a user using inputs to prompts in a first language to generate written and audio instructions in a second language to an instruction recipient. An instruction generation system can be used by a health care provider to provide instructions related to new medications to be administered to a patient or to the stopping or avoiding of certain medications by a patient. The instruction generation system can be deployed without the capacity for on-the-fly translation as the system maps the instruction concepts and context for the instructions onto previously stored written and audio instructions for presentation to the instruction recipient. This abstract is a tool for those searching for relevant disclosures and not a limit on the scope of the claims.
