2025·Built for Wife

PharmaRab

Gamified Medical Arabic for pharmacists — clinical phrases, vocab bank, XP, progression. Built for my wife.

01 · The Human Friction

Why this exists.

Pharmacists working in Gulf hospitals and retail pharmacies face severe language barriers with Arabic-speaking patients. General language apps teach formal tourist Arabic rather than clinical dosage, symptoms, and contraindication phrasing.

02 · The Solution

How it was built.

Curated a specialized conversational syllabus focused exclusively on the pharmacy counter. Paired Arabic audio, phonetic transliteration, and English clinical meaning with gamified progression to make daily 5-minute practice habitual.
