Company profile
researched Aug 2026InDemand Interpreting is a healthcare language-access company that supplies medically qualified and certified interpreters to clinicians through video remote interpreting (VRI), over-the-phone interpreting (OPI) and on-site interpreting. Founded in 2007, the company's stated aim is to ensure patients receive care regardless of language, cultural background, hearing ability or disability, focusing on limited English proficient (LEP), Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.
The service portfolio includes live and on-demand video interpreting in 29 languages, including American Sign Language and Certified Deaf Interpreter services, and telephone interpreting in more than 250 languages. The most frequently requested VRI languages are covered 24/7/365, with most other languages covered roughly 14-18 hours a day, and phone interpreting available around the clock. Offerings are complemented by dedicated devices and hardware and by consultative services, and the company has also been described as providing document translation.
InDemand operated as a portfolio company of Health Enterprise Partners before being acquired in May 2019 by Stratus Video, LLC, a portfolio company of Kinderhook, LLC; the merger combined two of the larger providers in the U.S. healthcare interpreting market.
Business model
InDemand sells language-access services to healthcare provider organizations, combining interpreter staffing with video and telephony software and, where needed, medical-grade endpoint hardware. Delivery is remote and on-demand, with interpreters reached at the touch of a button, supplemented by scheduled on-site interpreting and consultative services. The offering is positioned to hospitals and clinics as a way to reduce interpreting costs while supporting regulatory compliance obligations toward limited English proficient and Deaf patients.
Revenue comes from healthcare provider organizations paying for interpreting services delivered by video, telephone and on site, together with associated devices, hardware and consultative services.
Traction
Third-party company data reports that InDemand's solutions have been adopted by more than 800 healthcare organizations across the United States, with a workforce reported in the 51-100 employee range. Customer deployments include AxessPointe Community Health Centers, which implemented VRI devices at six Ohio clinics.

The company positions itself on the experience and medical qualification/certification of its interpreter pool, the quality of its video technology, and high-touch customer service, factors cited by the acquiring party at the time of the 2019 merger.
