The rapid adoption of telehealth has revolutionized healthcare, providing millions with critical access to medical services regardless of location. However, language barriers have remained a persistent challenge, limiting the ability of providers to deliver equitable care to patients with limited English proficiency (LEP), or who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
VSee Health (NASDAQ: VSEE), a leader in AI-powered telehealth, sought to address this issue by ensuring that language was no longer a barrier to quality healthcare. With a platform trusted by major organizations such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and McKesson, VSee aimed to integrate real-time interpretation services seamlessly within its telehealth solution.
Achieving this required a robust language access partner that could deliver instant, high-quality interpreting services in a way that preserved workflow efficiency, minimized delays, and improved patient-provider communication.
The Solution: One-Touch Access to LanguageLine’s Professional Interpreters
To eliminate language barriers in telehealth, VSee partnered with LanguageLine. This integration enabled VSee to provide one-touch interpreter access in over 240 languages, ensuring that patients and providers could communicate effectively regardless of linguistic differences.
Key Features of the Integration:
- Instant Access to Professional Interpreters – With a single click, healthcare providers using VSee’s telehealth platform can seamlessly connect with live interpreters in real time.
- Comprehensive Language Support – Patients can access medically qualified interpreters in over 240 languages, including American Sign Language (ASL), to support diverse patient needs.
- Interpreter Dispatch Workflow – For less frequently requested languages, schedulers can invite multiple interpreters with one click, ensuring fast response times and uninterrupted virtual care.
- 24/7 Availability – LanguageLine’s interpreters are available around the clock, ensuring that healthcare providers can support patients in any language at any time of day.
By embedding LanguageLine’s services directly into its platform, VSee eliminated the need for additional software or third-party applications, streamlining telehealth workflows while ensuring a seamless patient experience.
