Episode Details

Three Virginia Tech grad students built a web-based translation tool to help Spanish-speaking patients understand dental procedures—like X-rays—when language barriers make care confusing or inaccessible. Inspired by real clinic visits and Mahrukh Siddiqui’s own experience as a non-native English speaker, the team created a fast, reliable solution that’s already boosting patient confidence and clinic efficiency. Designed with open-access tech, it’s currently in Spanish but aims to expand to Urdu, Farsi, Dari, and more—making dental care clearer, fairer, and more inclusive for everyone.
