GenieMD Breaks Down Language Barriers in Virtual Care with New Partner, Voyce, Providing Interpretation in 240+ Languages.

‍February 29, 2024 – GenieMD, Inc. (“GenieMD”), provider of an award-winning virtual care platform, and Voyce, a technology-driven company dedicated to breaking down language barriers in healthcare, have announced a new collaboration to provide more equitable and inclusive access to virtual care services.

“Voyce and GenieMD are in the business of improving patient outcomes through virtual care. Through our partnership, patients and providers on GenieMD will have access to Voyce’s qualified medical interpreters. When patients facing language barriers access virtual care with GenieMD, Voyce will be there to ensure their voice is heard and is communicated with the accuracy and sensitivity needed for quality medical care.” – Andrew Royce, CEO, Voyce.

In the United States alone, the limited English proficiency (LEP) population has grown significantly     (approximately 8% of the total population).  Language barriers in healthcare impedes equitable access to care, making it difficult for providers to provide high-quality medical care.  When patients and healthcare professionals do not speak the same language, it can lead to misunderstandings, misdiagnoses, and inadequate treatment. Beyond the impact this has on a patient and their care, it leaves healthcare organizations exposed to risk.

"Integrating a language interpreter into virtual care delivery through Voyce enables effective communication between care providers and patients. By breaking down language barriers, GenieMD will empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to fully engage in their care, ensuring that no one is left behind in accessing quality healthcare services." – Dr. Soheil Sadaat, Founder and CEO, GenieMD.
