Swecare member Worldish has been selected by Region Örebro County to provide AI-powered medical interpretation services across the region and eight municipalities, marking one of the largest deployments of healthcare AI interpretation technology in Sweden to date.

Following extensive testing of several AI interpretation solutions, the region chose Worldish's Helen Assistant, a CE-marked medical AI interpreter designed specifically for healthcare and welfare settings. The implementation will provide more than 15,000 healthcare and welfare professionals with access to interpretation support in over 100 languages and dialects.

The agreement covers Region Örebro County and the municipalities of Örebro, Hallsberg, Kumla, Lindesberg, Ljusnarsberg, Laxå, Nora, and Lekeberg. By creating a shared regional framework, the initiative aims to improve communication, strengthen patient safety, and increase access to inclusive public services.

Founded in Sweden in 2017, Worldish develops specialised language technology for healthcare and welfare organisations. Unlike general-purpose translation tools, Helen Assistant is trained specifically for medical and welfare-related communication and is certified as a medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

The solution is also integrated with the COSMIC electronic health record system, enabling healthcare professionals to access interpretation services directly within their existing workflows.

The Örebro deployment highlights how Swedish health innovation is helping address real-world challenges in healthcare delivery. It also represents an important milestone for Worldish, whose solutions are now used by more than 50,000 healthcare professionals across ten countries.

As healthcare systems continue to seek digital solutions that improve accessibility and efficiency, this project demonstrates the growing role Swedish HealthTech companies can play in supporting more equitable care and welfare services.
