This week's HIMSSCast offers an in-depth case study of an artificial intelligence-powered interpreter app in action – and the results achieved at Affinia Healthcare, a community health center in St. Louis.
Jennifer Winters, assistant vice president, value-based healthcare, at Affinia Healthcare, and Dr. David Miller, clinical director of Affinia Convenience Care and an assistant medical director at Affinia Healthcare, dig into a pilot they conducted earlier this year.
They discuss the challenge they hoped the AI-powered interpreter app technology would meet, the outcomes of the Q12025 pilot, advice for their peers at other health systems about using AI interpreter technology, and more.
