Jefferson Health employees can connect to medical interpreters via the GLOBO smartphone app within 60 seconds or less, according to a March 8 release from Jefferson. 

The technology allows clinicians to access on-demand interpreters who are available 24/7 and can interpret more than 430 languages. 

The aim is to help enhance Jefferson Health’s interpreting services across its entire health system.
