Lexi
AI-Powered Medical Interpretation Service
Around 30 million patients in the U.S. struggle to understand medical care due to language barriers, leading to errors, readmissions, and increased costs. Lexi is a multi-lingual, AI-powered medical interpretation service combining hardware and software: the Lexi Pin for real-time translation, a Provider Panel integrated into healthcare workflows, and a Patient App with post-visit summaries. This HIPAA-compliant solution enables direct communication with LEP patients, fostering trust. Scalable across settings, Lexi improves care quality, reduces costs, and advances health equity, building a more inclusive, efficient healthcare system.
iF Gold Statement
Clear lines of communication between doctor and patient are essential to effective diagnosis and treatment, yet many healthcare professionals in the United States struggle to communicate with patients who lack proficiency in English. This concept delivers AI-enabled medical interpretation that is sensitive to cultural differences and patient medical literacy. This device proves that great design isn’t about appearances; it’s about impact.
