Language Should Never Be a Barrier to Healthcare
Healthcare is complicated enough without adding language barriers on top. When you receive a health report, you need to understand it — and so does your doctor, your family, and anyone involved in your care.
Symplicured now lets you translate your complete health report into 16 languages, with a unique safety feature: original English medical terminology is preserved alongside translations.
Why This Matters
The Translation Problem in Healthcare
Medical translation is uniquely dangerous. A slight mistranslation of a drug name, a dosage instruction, or a diagnosis can have serious consequences. Generic translation tools — even good ones — are not designed for medical content.
Consider these real-world scenarios:
- A patient in Japan downloads their health report and shares it with a local doctor. The doctor needs to see the original English medical terms to cross-reference with international clinical databases.
- A Hindi-speaking grandmother in Delhi receives a report. Her son translates it for her, but she needs the information in Hindi to truly understand her condition.
- A Spanish-speaking patient in the US wants to share their report with family in Mexico, who may consult a local doctor.
In every case, the local language provides comprehension, while the English medical terms provide clinical safety.

AI-Powered Translation
After selecting your language, the report is translated using OpenAI GPT-4o-mini — a model specifically chosen for its accuracy with medical content and its speed. The translation:
- Converts all narrative text, recommendations, and explanations into your chosen language
- Preserves English medical terms in parentheses alongside their translations
- Maintains the structure and formatting of the original report
- Handles medical abbreviations and clinical terminology correctly
What Preservation Looks Like
Here is an example of how a translated report reads:
English original:
"Your lab results show elevated LDL cholesterol at 165 mg/dL, above the reference range of 0-130 mg/dL."
Hindi translation with preserved terms:
"आपकी लैब रिपोर्ट में एलडीएल कोलेस्ट्रॉल (LDL cholesterol) 165 mg/dL पर बढ़ा हुआ दिखाई दे रहा है, जो 0-130 mg/dL की सामान्य सीमा (reference range) से ऊपर है।"
The patient reads it in Hindi. The doctor sees "LDL cholesterol" and "reference range" in English. Both understand the report completely.
Via API Endpoint
For advanced users and integrations, translation is also available as a standalone API:
POST /api/profile/health-report/translate
This endpoint accepts your health report data and a target language, returning the fully translated report. This enables third-party applications, hospital systems, and telemedicine platforms to offer translated reports using Symplicured's medical translation engine.
Clinical Safety by Design
The decision to preserve English medical terms is deliberate and based on clinical best practices:
Universal Medical Vocabulary
English medical terminology is the international standard. ICD codes, drug names, lab test identifiers, and clinical procedures are universally referenced in English across medical databases worldwide. Preserving these terms ensures that any healthcare professional, regardless of their native language, can accurately identify conditions, tests, and treatments.
Preventing Medication Errors
Drug names are particularly sensitive. "Paracetamol" and "Acetaminophen" are the same drug but may be translated differently in various languages. By preserving the original English term, the risk of confusion or substitution errors is eliminated.
Cross-Border Continuity
Patients who travel or relocate can share reports that work in any medical context. A doctor in Singapore can read a report generated for a Tamil-speaking patient in India, because the medical terms are universally recognisable.
Supported Across All Report Sections
Translation applies to every section of your Health Passport PDF:
- Vitals table — Column headers and notes translated; values and units preserved
