Abstract

This  project explores the potential for sustainable economic valorization of a multilingual tool designed to improve communication in healthcare settings. Key features include translations provided by native speakers, spoken translations for improved accessibility, visual aids to enhance comprehension, and a responsive design optimized for diverse user needs. By enabling demand-driven consultations, the tool addresses language barriers while promoting inclusive and equitable healthcare practices. This research examines the integration of such technology into the Flemish care sector, emphasizing the need for validation, privacy compliance, infrastructure, and training to ensure successful adoption and usage. The findings underline the tool's transformative potential while acknowledging the operational and systemic challenges that must be addressed.
