AI medical interpreter for child neurology
Opalite gives child neurology teams real-time spoken interpretation in 150+ languages and dialects, from the EEG lab and epilepsy monitoring unit to rescue-medicine teaching and video follow-up.
Today's challenge
What gets in the way of interpretation in child neurology today
The EEG tech mimes the instructions
The EEG technologist acts out "blow the pinwheel" and "look at the flashing light" for a parent with no interpreter in the room.
A rescue plan heard secondhand
An older sister relays the nasal rescue-spray dose to her mother at the epilepsy monitoring unit discharge.
Pulled back to the clinic for follow-up
A Vietnamese-speaking family drives two hours for a medication check with no interpreter on the video platform.
Cost of inaction
Language interpretation remains a gap in child neurology
22.2% vs. 11.4%
of in-person versus telehealth pediatric neurology visits went to patients preferring another language in California pediatric medical groups during the pandemic.

44% vs. 25%
of children with cerebral palsy preferring another language versus English had spinal curves over 90 degrees before surgery at one Minnesota center.
0.56x the odds
of reading a negative COVID-19 test as intended applied to other-language households of children with medical complexity in one Wisconsin survey.
