New course

Four years ago, Stratus Video had no partnerships with health systems or hospitals.

Today, the Clearwater-based company's video interpretation service is now used in 1,500 hospitals and 120 health systems.

Stratus achieved the growth by tackling a looming patient issue and hospital inefficiency — language interpretation. Using a combination of technologies, Stratus developed a program that allows hospitals to use an existing device, such as an iPad, and then connect through an uber-like app to an interpreter, in a few clicks.
