Interpretation Apps – a supplement or a replacement in today’s multilingual health care communication?

Today’s interpretation and translation services only cover a fragment of the actual need in health care. It is still difficult, time consuming and expensive for many to book an interpreter even though the industry has been focusing on price pressure and more flexible services with on-demand-interpretation.

Interpretation apps were introduced a few years ago as supplements to human interpreters to fill the need but have lately started to be more and more seen as possible replacements. Where is the place for interpretation apps in todays’ multilingual health care communication and how will they change the future of the industry?
