Overview
Patients now have access to their personal radiology reports through online health portals. These reports are full of medical jargon that most patients don't understand. We are building software to convert the radiology report into an interactive, patient-friendly webpage written in plain language to engage and empower patients.

 

Now more than ever, technology is empowering patients to take charge of their medical care through improved information transparency. Online portals have opened the door for patients to access everything they need to make informed healthcare decisions. Meet Jessica, she’s one of the 92% of Americans with access to her medical record online. Jessica recently completed her annual screening mammogram, and she is anxious to get the results of her test as soon as possible. Through the online patient portal, Jessica can log in and read her mammography report almost immediately after the test is completed. But when she opens her report, she sees a lifeless, black and white document with confusing medical language intended for other doctors, not for patients. To play an active role in her health care, Jessica needs to actually understand what this report means. What if there were a way to provide a new kind of radiology report, one that is translated into plain language and tailored specifically for patients like Jessica?

Introducing Scanslated, the patient-friendly interactive radiology report of the future. Scanslated takes the old, confusing radiology report and automatically converts it into an interactive experience. Using diagrams and simple language, Scanslated helps patients understand the meaning of their test results and empowers them to play an active role in important healthcare decisions.

How does it work? Scanslated software uses natural language processing and advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze radiology reports from the patient’s chart. Scanslated then automatically converts the old report into a patient-friendly version, displaying plain language translations created by medical imaging experts. Without any additional work from the doctor, patients can access the Scanslated report directly through their online portal.

Healthcare today should be all about patients like Jessica.  This means not only giving her complete access to her records, but also presenting health information in a way that she can understand. Scanslated bridges the doctor-patient language barrier and demystifies the medical record, helping patients and doctors to work together for better health in the digital age.

Scanslated.  Your health. Your results.  Now in your language.

         

Help us to revolutionize healthcare for the digital age.   

We have created software that uses machine learning to transform the standard radiology report into a patient-friendly version translated into plain language. 

 

In order to put this revolutionary report in front of the patients who need it, we need $10,000 to build the backend components that will integrate our software with online patient portals.  Help us to usher in a patient-centered revolution in healthcare.
