Answer patient calls in Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam & more. No language barriers. No missed calls. No IVRs.
Multilingual Hospital Call AI enables hospitals in India to answer patient calls in Hindi, Hinglish, and regional languages like Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam — automatically, without IVRs, missed calls, or language barriers. The AI detects the caller's language, responds naturally in that language, and can switch languages mid-call if the patient prefers. This solves a critical gap in Indian healthcare where elderly patients and non-English speakers often struggle with traditional phone systems, leading to dropped calls, frustrated patients, and lost revenue.
Multilingual Hospital Call AI is an artificial intelligence receptionist that answers patient calls in multiple Indian languages simultaneously — without requiring patients to select a language or navigate menus.
Key characteristics:
Most Indian hospitals serve diverse populations but often struggle with monolingual receptionists and outdated English-only IVR systems. This creates real barriers:
Elderly Patient Calls
Elderly patients often speak only regional languages. English-only systems frustrate them, leading to dropped calls and clinic walk-ins instead.
Linguistic Diversity
A single hospital in Bangalore or Chennai serves patients from multiple linguistic backgrounds. One receptionist can't scale.
Miscommunication
Language barriers lead to wrong department routing, missed appointment details, and patient frustration.
Lost Revenue
High-intent patients hang up when they can't communicate. Hospitals miss OPD appointments and procedure bookings.
Common language-related call failures:
Important note:
Patients often switch languages mid-call. A patient might start in Hindi, switch to Hinglish, then ask a specific query in English. Multilingual Hospital Call AI handles all these transitions seamlessly without patient confusion.

Challenge: Extreme linguistic diversity. Patients from across India.
A Bangalore hospital needs Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, English, and Hinglish simultaneously. Hiring multilingual staff is expensive and inefficient.
Challenge: Strong regional language preference. Patients rarely speak English fluently.
