MediDoc Translate is an open-source, privacy-safe platform that enables patients to instantly translate and understand their medical discharge papers and documents in their preferred language. By combining OCR, LLMs, and a custom-built Medical Context Engine (MCE), the system ensures accurate, context-aware translations that preserve clinical meaning while simplifying complex medical language for everyday understanding. MediDoc Translate empowers patients from multilingual backgrounds to make informed decisions post-discharge, ultimately improving health outcomes and reducing hospital readmission rates.

MediDoc Translate bridges this accessibility gap through a fully automated medical translation pipeline that integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR), domain-verified Large Language Models, and a medical terminology knowledge base.

• Upload & OCR: Users upload a photo or PDF of their medical document. The system extracts text using OCR fine-tuned for healthcare documents.

• Medical Context Engine: The text passes through the MCE, which retrieves relevant medical definitions and terminology mappings from a curated medical knowledge base to ground the translation process.

• Translation & Simplification: The LLM produces both (a) a clinically accurate translation and (b) a simplified, patient-friendly summary for clarity.

• Privacy by Design: No document or extracted text is stored; all processing occurs securely and transiently.

Through this approach, MediDoc Translate transforms opaque, jargon-filled paperwork into accessible health guidance — empowering patients, supporting caregivers, and enabling hospitals to provide equitable post-discharge communication at scale.
