AI medical interpreter for family medicine
Opalite gives families with limited English real-time interpretation in 150+ languages and dialects within seconds, without a child interpreting for a parent.
Today's challenge
What gets in the way of interpretation in family medicine today
On hold with full exam rooms
The physician holds for a phone interpreter with two exam rooms already full.
Eyes on the keyboard
The physician types the interpreted answers instead of watching the patient's face during the diabetes review.
Sick visits outside booked hours
A same-day sick visit falls outside the clinic's booked interpreter hours.
Cost of inaction
Language interpretation remains a gap in family medicine
31.6%
of adults 45 to 75 with LEP were up to date on colon screening in national survey data, versus 56.8% of English-proficient adults.

Pricing
Pricing for family medicine practices
A whole family, one flat rate. A flat rate scoped to your sites or departments covers a parent's follow-up and a child's sports physical with no per-minute charge.
Halved costs at a primary care FQHC. CIFC Health, a federally qualified health center rather than a family medicine group, halved its interpretation spending and saves over $5,000 monthly.
