SAN DIEGO, March 1, 2025 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU) is proud to announce the appointment of Terry Quintero as the Director of Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI), Video Remote Interpretation (VRI), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Language Services. Terry comes on board with a wealth of experience, having previously served as Director of Operations at a Top 20 Slator LSPI ranked Language Service Provider. This strategic move positions IU among the first Language Service Providers to establish a director level role dedicated to AI driven language solutions.

In an era where technology continually reshapes industries, IU recognizes the transformative potential of AI in language services. By creating this specialized director position, IU underscores its commitment to integrating cutting edge AI technologies with traditional interpretation and translation services, ensuring clients receive innovative, efficient, and accurate language solutions. At the same time, IU remains dedicated to ethical and responsible AI adoption, aligning with industry best practices identified by the Safe AI Taskforce (safeaitf.org). This initiative, which brings together key stakeholders in language services, promotes fair, safe, and compliant AI implementation to uphold the integrity of interpreted interactions. IU supports the establishment of industry-wide guidelines and performance benchmarks that ensure AI-driven language solutions enhance rather than compromise the quality, security, and accuracy of communication.

In his new role, Terry joins the team in a complimenting position to Laura Firenzi, Director of Client Relations, who oversees on site in person interpreting services for IU. Offering a full suite of language services, on site in person interpreting is one of the main fixtures of IU, and for over 13 years Laura has led that sector of IU with an expertise in vendor linguist management and industry best practices. Her leadership has also been instrumental in successfully integrating five acquisitions, ensuring a seamless transition that strengthened IU’s service capabilities and expanded its nationwide interpreter network.

With Terry at the helm of OPI, VRI, and AI Language Services, IU is poised to continue to expand its service offerings, incorporating AI to enhance real-time interpretation and translation capabilities. This initiative aims to provide clients across various industries, including healthcare, legal, education, and corporate sectors, with rapid, reliable, and cost-effective language solutions.

“We are thrilled to welcome Terry Quintero to our leadership team,” said Shamus Sayed, Interpreters Unlimited COO. “Working alongside Laura, with her extensive experience and tenor, Terry’s experience and forward-thinking approach align perfectly with our mission to bridge communication gaps. By embracing AI, we are not only staying ahead of industry trends but also setting new standards in language services.”

SAN DIEGO, February 6, 2025 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU), a leading provider of language services has partnered with Diya Health, a visionary digital health SaaS company, to transform healthcare communication with the introduction of AI-powered interpretation and multimedia translation services. This groundbreaking collaboration is set to revolutionize language access in healthcare systems across the United States, offering immediate, secure, and cost-effective solutions that enhance patient care and provider efficiency.

Integrating state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into their offerings, this new AI-powered platform enables seamless, on-demand interpretation and translation, eliminating wait times and ensuring clear communication between healthcare providers, patients, and their families. Designed to meet the growing demand for language access in medical settings, this service is fully HIPAA-compliant and complies with all federal and state healthcare language requirements, including ACA Section 1557.

The AI-powered interpretation service offers instant accessibility without any delays that can arise with traditional interpreter scheduling. Conversations are transcribed in real time, providing an accurate record that can be referenced as needed. The AI-based translation service delivers immediate, comprehensive translations while preserving document formatting and layout, streamlining communication between providers and non-English-speaking patients.

This innovative language solution seamlessly integrates with major Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Appointment Management Systems (AMS), including Epic and MyChart. By reducing inefficiencies and administrative burdens, the AI-powered platform allows clinicians to save more than 30 minutes per shift. This time savings is particularly valuable during the ongoing national shortage of clinical staff. Additionally, hospitals stand to reduce operational costs significantly, with an estimated $400K in annual savings for a 150-bed hospital.

Security and compliance remain top priorities for IU and Diya Health. The platform utilizes encrypted data storage, single sign-on authentication, multi-factor authentication, and immutable audit trails to ensure information security. Patient data is never shared or sold, and health systems have full control over their information. This AI-driven solution meets and exceeds industry standards for medical interpretation and translation, ensuring both accuracy and confidentiality.

In a recent Forbes article, Forbes Tech Council Member Frederick R. Pedersen said, “AI translation tools have reached an impressive level of precision and can process text in a fraction of the time it would take a human… AI-driven translation tools can elevate the quality and scalability of language services.” The introduction of AI in language services marks a significant shift in how healthcare providers communicate with diverse patient populations. This technology is not replacing human translators but rather augmenting existing language services, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative where appropriate.

“Our ultimate goal is to create a bridge between Limited English proficiency speakers and the companies that serve them,” said Shamus Sayed, Vice President of Interpreters Unlimited. “Whatever we can do to improve and make services more efficient, we will do. As a tech minded company, we have been weaving AI options into our operations little by little, so in 2025 it only makes sense to collaborate with an AI focused company like Diya Health to take language services to the next level.”

Healthcare professionals can access this AI-powered interpretation and translation service from any smart device, ensuring 24/7 availability. With minimal training required, the platform is designed for immediate use, empowering medical staff to provide equitable and effective care to all patients, regardless of language barriers. It is inevitable that AI is going to be a part of the future of language services, so now is the time to get started with Interpreters Unlimited and Diya Health.
