Allentown, PA collaborates with Lehigh Valley Health Network on interpreting technology pilot

Allentown, PA Lehigh Valley Health Network Interpreting

Allentown's Health Bureau and EMS teams received seven iPads with video remote interpreting (VRI) software. First responders can access around-the-clock interpreting services from LVHN for languages ranging from ASL to Mandarin. Health Bureau representatives also use the VRI technology during vaccination clinics and other public health events. The pilot improves emergency services to a significant minority of residents who speak languages other than English.
