Language barriers create obstacles in providing high-quality healthcare and maintaining patient safety. Existing solutions, like interpreter services, cultural mediators, and smartphone apps, aren’t able to overcome barriers adequately due to high costs, privacy implications, or poor quality. Machine translation offers a real solution once it becomes able to provide human quality translations at reasonable prices. New research from Translated, a pioneer in AI-powered translation services, shows that this will soon be possible, thanks to the perfect symbiosis between professional translators and machine translation. Machine translation can radically impact the healthcare industry in three main areas: the translation of information for the general public, the translation of specialist publications such as scientific papers, patents, and disease reports, and seamless doctorpatient communication and the gathering of patient feedback.
