"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 9 in 10 adults struggle to understand and use personal and public health information. When a patient leaves a clinic with a prescription they can't read or a diagnosis they don't understand, the result isn't just confusion - it's missed doses, worsening conditions and preventable hospital readmissions."
"I saw this gap firsthand. As an engineer, I spent my days building complex AI systems for Fortune 100 companies. But back home, I saw friends and family struggle to decode simple medical advice because it was buried in jargon or unavailable in their native language (Telugu). I realized that AI's greatest potential wasn't just in generating code; it was in translation. Not just translating English to Telugu, but translating "medical" to "human.""
Agentic AI and autonomous productivity tools capture industry focus while a widespread health literacy crisis affects hospitals and homes. Nearly nine in ten adults struggle to understand and use personal and public health information, leading to missed doses, worsening conditions and preventable hospital readmissions when prescriptions or diagnoses are not understood. Real-world observations motivated an AI-powered platform, HealthNeem, to translate medical language into plain language and native languages like Telugu. The platform emphasizes curating, verifying and translating information for specific user needs. Governance and compliance are described as competitive advantages, and delivering answers without requiring user prompts reduces barriers to use.
