Mabel AI has been named the standout innovator at Vitalis 2023, the largest healthtech exhibition and conference in the Nordics. Our AI solution, which offers voice recognition and real-time translation of medical information, was recognised for its potential to significantly improve healthcare delivery and patient communication.
From the official statement of the HealthTech Award:
“HealthTech Award this year is awarded to Mabel AI, which through modern technology innovates healthcare with an AI-based solution offering voice recognition and real-time translation of medical information.”
Our founder and CTO, Shahid Jabbar, reflected on the achievement:
“It feels fantastic; we’re still in shock considering the other amazing finalists. Language barriers in healthcare can be a matter of life or death, and we decided to find a solution. A year later, we have a working product. With Mabel AI, we hope to improve integration in Swedish society, reduce costs, and offer better translations than patients usually receive.”

“Det känns fantastiskt, vi är fortfarande i chock med tanke på de andra fantastiska finalisterna. Språkbarriärer inom vården kan vara avgörande för liv eller död och vi bestämde oss för att hitta en lösning på problemet. Ett år senare har vi en fungerande produkt. Med Mabel AI hoppas vi förbättra integrationen i det svenska samhället, minska kostnader och erbjuda bättre översättningar än patienterna vanligtvis får.”

The jury, highlighting the urgency and importance of bridging language gaps in healthcare, noted:
“Healthcare is about managing information and acting on it. Bridging language barriers correctly between patients and healthcare personnel while preserving integrity is key to ensuring right and equal care. The winner offers voice recognition and real-time translation of medical information in an AI-based solution, minimizing language confusions and allowing connection to patient records with just one click. Even offline, during wars and disasters. The HealthTech Award 2023 goes to an innovation that provides language support in critical situations when every second counts.”
We are humbled by this recognition and remain committed to pushing the boundaries of healthcare technology. Here’s to more accolades and innovations in the years to come.
