Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in telemedicine has emerged as a revolutionary solution to address healthcare disparities in rural and linguistically diverse regions. One of the significant barriers to effective telehealth delivery is language a challenge particularly prominent in multilingual rural communities. This study explores the role of AI-powered translation tools in enhancing rural telemedicine by enabling real-time, accurate communication between healthcare providers and patients speaking different regional languages. Through a comprehensive literature review, stakeholder analysis, and field-level examination of existing implementations, the manuscript investigates the usability, accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and accessibility of AI translators in rural medical contexts.
