Patient information videos in community languages
Short answer
Start from approved patient information that already exists in the community language, or have it professionally translated and clinically reviewed. Make a short portrait video per language in AutoScribble, keep wording exactly as approved, and have a fluent clinician or interpreter check the finished film before sharing.
