This feature is especially useful for healthcare providers, caregivers or translators involved in patient care – enhancing communication and understanding between different healthcare stakeholders.
As part of its commitment to reducing barriers to accessing healthcare, Infermedica is also reviewing the use of plain language in all of its content. This initiative ensures that the language used in the main English version, from which translations are made, is as simple and understandable as possible.

With long wait times for primary care appointments in various countries, platforms like Infermedica provide an immediate and accessible solution to prevent minor health issues from escalating into more serious ones.
