Abstract: Relationships and communication between doctors and patients is a very important problem in medicine. Analysis of possible interrelated directions of development and application of communicators in emergency and family medicine was performed. According to the first direction the IT communicators are intended for supporting alternative communication with the people lost temporarily or permanently possibility to speak. According to the second direction proposed communicators have databases included detailed information about types of diseases and traumas, and by results of analysis of injured person symptoms or feelings the software subsystem generates some variants of possible diseases or traumas diagnosis. It is proposed to apply special hardware-software means, particularly IT communicators to simplify the communication of doctors with patients (particularly with voice limitation) and increase treatment efficiency beginning from the first contact. Proposed IT communicators are used in family and emergency medicine for supporting first contact of doctors with patients (with voice limitation) and getting information about patient state, for example, during the preliminary examination of patients. Application of proposed modern computer devices and information technologies in medicine makes it possible to reduce a number of cognitive problems, increase the efficiency of the first contact of patients with doctors, quickly give a diagnosis and correctly select methods of treatment.
