How Patiently AI works
- Add your notes. Paste text, or upload a discharge letter, lab result, scan report, prescription, or photo of a document. Personal identifiers are removed on your device before anything is sent.
- Simplify. Choose a reading level (Child, Teen, Adult, or Carer), tone, and language, then generate a clear, plain-language explanation in seconds.
- Prepare for your appointment. Get suggested questions to ask your doctor, look up unfamiliar terms in the medical glossary, and copy, print, or email the result.
What you can simplify
Discharge summaries, appointment and referral letters, blood test and lab results, scan and imaging reports (MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray), prescription and medication details, biopsy and pathology reports, and specialist consultation notes. Upload PDFs, Word documents, images, or audio recordings of consultations — audio is transcribed automatically, then simplified.
