We are passionate about bridging healthcare disparities and providing Virtual Remote Interpretation at every point in the care continuum.” Says Cloudbreak Health co-founder and COO, Andy Panos. “That’s why we’ve focused our efforts on making Martti easy to use and easy to integrate. This partnership with QliqSOFT’s, and integration with their platform, will help to further address inequities in care while bringing language access to wherever patients need it. We’re proud to link arms with QliqSOFT and continue advocating for equity in healthcare.”

“The QliqSOFT and Cloudbreak Martti partnership is a great tool for us as we strive for health equity,” says Chineye Anako, Regional Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Trinity Health of New England. “Language access is so important to those we serve. We look forward to being able to reach our limited English proficient, Deaf, and hard of hearing population with telehealth will help us continue to keep our community safe, healthy, and well informed. This is the future of healthcare.”
