Abstract
Patients increasingly have access to their electronic health records. However, much of the content therein is not specifically written for them; instead it captures communication about a patient’s situation between medical professionals. We present SimpleRad, a prototype application to explore patient-friendly explanations of radiology terminology. In this demonstration paper, we describe the various modules currently included in SimpleRad such as an entity linker, summarizer, search page, and observation frequency estimator.
