Introducing ALVINSM

Paras and Associates has developed ALVIN - the All Language Video Interpreter Network.

ALVIN begins with a mobile video cart, wheeled to the point of care. From there, clinicians and patients have instant access to their own interpreters and to 170 languages, provided by Language Line Services.

Hospital administrators have chosen ALVIN because it uses their existing resources to help manage the cost of the system. ALVIN makes your current Interpretation Services department up to 400% more efficient, and significantly reduces you Interpretive Services overhead.

We invite you to read more about ALVIN. We are convinced that the more you know, the more likely you will be to invite ALVIN into your clinics.
