This was employer and client work. The details stay at the level I can share publicly.
The problem
Conversations between clinicians and patients who don't share a language depended on human interpreters, and translation cost $1.50 per minute.
Approach
I built a real-time AI translation platform so a conversation could continue without waiting for an interpreter.
