Effective communication in health care saves lives. But in a multilingual country like the U.S., language barriers can cause delays, misunderstandings, and lower quality care. That’s why healthcare professionals across hospitals, clinics, and emergency rooms are turning to secure translation tools like Care to Translate.
Whether you're a doctor treating LEP (Limited English Proficiency) patients, a nurse in a busy ER, or a clinic manager looking to improve multilingual patient communication, Care to Translate is a trusted solution that’s being used worldwide - and now increasingly across the U.S.
Care to Translate is a medical translation app developed specifically for healthcare environments. Unlike generic tools, it’s designed with patient safety, medical accuracy, and compliance in mind. It supports real-time communication between healthcare professionals and patients, even when no interpreter is available.
Security and privacy are non-negotiable in health care. Care to Translate is a medical translation app built to safeguard patient data. It provides peace of mind while supporting compliant communication in clinical settings.
Care to Translate offers both offline phrase translation and Live Translate, a real-time translation feature that works in over 130 languages. This hybrid model ensures coverage in low-connectivity settings, like rural clinics or ambulances, without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
Unlike general-purpose apps, Care to Translate includes medically verified phrases, curated by professional translators and healthcare experts. From symptom discussions to procedural explanations, the app enables safe and verified dialogue.
Need to show what you mean? Care to Translate includes audio playback, illustrative images, and visual translation aids, helping patients with limited literacy or non-verbal communication needs.
Whether you're on the go in an ambulance or stationed in a hospital, Care to Translate meets your environment’s needs:
The U.S. has over 25 million LEP individuals. Lack of language access in health care can lead to:
Care to Translate bridges that gap with support for languages like Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic (MSA), and more. We're actively exploring the inclusion of regional Arabic dialects, making sure patients feel seen, heard, and understood.
Medical interpreter apps and video remote interpreting (VRI) tools are vital, but staffing shortages and unexpected patient volume can leave gaps. Care to Translate acts as a supplement - not a replacement - for human interpreters, providing safe fallback support whenever needed.
