We recently sat down with Daniel Ghinn, a leading expert in healthcare innovation, to discuss the role language translation plays in healthcare. In a previous article, Daniel explains the growing digital healthcare divide – arguing that although more people around the world have access to the internet, the majority of health related content is still in English.  Seeing the rapid uptake of online health information gathering,  self-diagnosis resources, enclaves for wellness related communities, and improvements in telemedicine, SpeakLike is dedicated to facilitating health content information sharing across all languages.

In fact, SpeakLike already removes language as a barrier for a major provider of radiology imaging software, PETLinQ. Our instant chat translation capabilities allow more than 71,000 doctors to collaborate easily across multiple languages, increasing the speed and quality of PETLingQ’s service.  With SpeakLike’s translation WordPress Plug-In and easy to implement Human Translation API, we hope to facilitate even more health-related information sharing in the near future.

At SpeakLike, we’re convinced that the health industry has tremendous innovation capacity for handling multi-lingual communication — after all, health is a universal language.
