RWJBarnabas Health Implements Aira App for Visually Impaired Patients

RWJBarnabas Health has introduced the Aira app, a remote visual interpretation service, across all its acute-care facilities. The free app is accessible to blind and low-vision employees, patients, visitors, volunteers, providers, and vendors, enhancing the healthcare experience for individuals with visual impairments. Aira connects users with trained agents who provide real-time visual assistance, helping with tasks such as reading medical documents, navigating facilities, and identifying objects. This initiative reflects RWJBarnabas Health's commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.
