My research project
Use of Machine Translation in Healthcare Settings: A Symptom of a Wider Problem?My research approach integrates a people-centred theoretical framework with the use of NLP techniques to identify potentially higher-risk linguistic phenomena for risk management purposes. The work itself is interdisciplinary in combining translation studies, healthcare communications and NLP, being centred around my profound interest in exploring the potential impact on patient safety of the use of machine translation (MT) technologies with patient medical documentation - an arguably core component of the care delivery experience - with an equally strong focus on MT literacy among healthcare staff in regard to its use.
