View Award Description

RSMI HEALS - Twenty-six million people in the United States have limited English proficiency, meaning that they report speaking English less than “very well”; this population is more likely to have poor cancer outcomes, in part as a result of communication problems. Medical interpretating services are mandated by laws and regulations, but their availability is limited by expense and logistical factors, which may potentially be overcome with technology-enabled solutions. We will compare three types of technology-enabled human-delivered interpreting solutions in a study with breast cancer patients with limited English proficiency who speak Spanish or Mandarin (1. “UN-style” simultaneous interpretation versus 2. audio consecutive, and 3. video consecutive interpretation) to determine which type has the lowest error rate, has the best patient outcomes, and is the most efficient, and what factors affect the implementation of these solutions; we will also explore the potential of artificial intelligence to deliver automated “UN-style” simultaneous medical interpreting, which could be a scalable and inexpensive future solution to providing medical interpreting services to people with cancer.
