Use of machine translation apps in a clinical context (DigiTools)

Description

With apps like Google Translate or DeepL, machine translation is ubiquitous. Translation apps are also used in hospitals and asylum centres to communicate with patients who do not sufficiently understand the local language.

This project aims to investigate the possibilities and limitations through small pilot studies and to formulate practical recommendations for their use.
