AI medical interpreter for cardiology

Today's challenge
What gets in the way of interpretation in cardiology today
On hold during a monitor alarm
During a cardiac patient's decline, the bedside nurse listens to hold music on the interpreter line with the daughter's questions unanswered.
Echo results on a meter
The per-minute meter pushes the cardiologist to rush the patient's questions about her echo results.
A dialect mismatch in valve clinic
A Gulf Arabic-speaking patient gets an Egyptian Arabic interpreter for his valve clinic visit.
Cost of inaction
Language interpretation remains a gap in cardiology
1.7x the odds
Foreign-born heart failure patients not primarily speaking English were readmitted within 30 days more often at a Denver safety-net system.
