MediationDecoder: Medical Record Translator
AI tool that translates dense medical jargon from lab results, discharge summaries, and specialist letters into plain English for patients to actually understand
The Problem
Patients receive medical documents filled with unfamiliar terminology, abbreviations, and clinical findings they can't parse. They either ignore critical health information, waste time Googling scary terms, or pay for expensive patient advocacy services to decode their own records. Doctors don't have time to explain everything, and existing solutions are fragmented (some focus only on labs, others only on summaries).
Target Audience
Individual patients aged 35-70 managing chronic conditions, post-surgery recovery, or complex diagnoses; also adult children trying to understand aging parents' medical documents
Why Now?
Recent FDA guidance on patient data access (21st Century Cures Act) means more patients are actually downloading and reading their own records; AI is finally good enough to handle medical terminology with nuance
What's Missing
Existing healthcare apps focus on provider workflows or general health tracking—none specifically solve the 'my doctor sent me a confusing letter' problem. Patients resort to Reddit or WebMD instead of trusted sources.
