Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) have been shown to have profound impacts on health-related outcomes, yet this data suffers from high rates of missingness in electronic health records (EHR). Moreover, limited English proficiency in the United States can be a barrier to communication with health care providers. In this study, we have designed a multilingual conversational agent capable of conducting SDoH surveys for use in healthcare environments. The agent asks questions in the patients native language, translates responses into English, and subsequently maps these responses via a large language model (LLM) to structured options in a SDoH survey. This tool can be extended to a variety of survey instruments in either hospital or home settings, enabling the extraction of structured insights from free-text answers. The proposed approach heralds a shift towards more inclusive and insightful data collection, marking a significant stride in SDoH data enrichment for optimizing health outcome predictions and interventions.
