Frequently Asked Questions
How many languages does VidaTalk support?
VidaTalk comes equipped with more than 40 language profiles, each featuring pre-set communication options for routine care. This ensures that reliable language access is consistently available to all patients, no matter their location within the hospital.
Do you use your own interpreters? Can we use our interpreters? Does this cost extra?
VidaTalk connects with live interpreters with a single tap and offers “talk-to-translate” options when interpreters are unavailable. We also integrate with third-party interpreter service providers.
How much does it cost?
VidaTalk charges per licensed bed or device, with discounts for enterprise licenses.
Is it HIPPA compliant? Does it communicate with any PHI? Is it integrated with EMR?
VidaTalk ensures HIPAA compliance with its “Talk-to-Text” feature. All data transmitted via the app is securely encrypted. We have a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google, guaranteeing that data sent to their servers is not stored.
Importantly, VidaTalk does not collect any Protected Health Information (PHI).
While VidaTalk itself is not directly integrated with Electronic Medical Records (EMR), it can function alongside other patient engagement systems that are EMR-integrated, without any direct data exchange between the two systems.
How are the translations done?
All prefabricated text and voices have been recorded and translated, then validated and verified by certified interpreters via 3rd party vendor.
Can we add more languages?
Our goal is to tailor VidaTalk’s language offerings to cover at least 75% of your patient population. To achieve this, we continually expand our language selection. If you require languages beyond this coverage, we’re happy to accommodate your request. The pricing for adding additional languages varies, depending on the specific language and its availability.
Can we add more content?
VidaTalk is in the process of adding customization as a new feature.
Has this been tested and validated?
VidaTalk is the most comprehensive speech and language access solution on the market. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, VidaTalk’s development underwent a rigorous five-year longitudinal study to ensure it delivered an effective solution for critically ill, intubated, and trached patients to communicate their needs while unable to speak.
