Hospitals in Belgium are developing an AI application to simplify medical reports for patients, making it easier for them to understand their health situation. The app generates plain-language versions of medical reports, supplementing the original documents.
Several Belgian hospitals, including Antwerp ZAS group and UZ Brussel, have developed an AI application to help patients understand their medical reports. The app generates a plain-language version of each report, alongside the original document. Patients can access the simplified reports via government health portals or hospital patient portals. The app is currently being tested with patients having rheumatic and kidney conditions, with reports available in Dutch, French, and English. The AI-generated reports are not reviewed by doctors and are intended to supplement, not replace, the original medical report. The application was developed with the support of the Federal Health Department.
