A Smart Mobile App to Simplify Medical Documents and Improve Health Literacy: System Design and Feasibility Validation.

MediReader provides an easy-to-use interface for users to read and understand medical documents. It can effectively identify medical terms that a user may not understand, and then, annotate and interpret them with appropriate meanings using languages that the user can understand. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of using this tool to improve an individual's understanding of medical materials.
