About the Project

A common problem the average citizen faces is the medical wording of health care information and documents. The average American reads at a 5th grade reading level while health care documents are written at the collegiate level. This project will ‘translate’ the academic language of health care documents into common day speak. This makes health care documents more accessible to the average American, increasing individual understanding of health care and health related information. With increased understanding and awareness patients are more likely to take the necessary steps to take care of their bodies, treat their aliments, and prevent worsening health conditions. Ultimately this reduces the cost and increases the quality of health care.
