Hey Product Hunt — Keith here, founder of DecodeMD. DecodeMD exists for a simple reason: patients and caregivers are getting access to medical reports faster than ever, but the language is still written for clinicians. That gap creates confusion, anxiety, and the late-night “Dr. Google” spiral. What DecodeMD does Turns lab results, imaging notes, and report text into calm, plain-English explanations Defines key terms and highlights what to ask your provider Designed to support better conversations with your care team (not replace it) Important note: DecodeMD isn’t medical advice. It’s a clarity tool to help you understand what you’re reading and prepare questions for your clinician. If you try it, I’d love your feedback on: Where did the explanation still feel confusing? What section was most helpful: summary, definitions, or questions to ask? What report types should we prioritize next (labs, radiology, visit notes)? I’ll be in the comments all day—ask me anything.

👋 Update from Keith — June 2026

We've been heads down shipping since launch. Here's what's new in v1.3.7:

📄 PDF + Word upload — upload the actual file your hospital sent, no copy-pasting

🔒 Enhanced privacy — rebuilt PHI scanner covering all 17 HIPAA identifiers. Report text never stored.

📤 Share translations — send plain-English results to family members

✅ Fixed returning user experience — app no longer shows the welcome tour on every open

86 downloads since December. 1 paying subscriber. Still early, still shipping.

If you've tried DecodeMD — honest feedback means everything right now. 🙏

I built DecodeMD because medical reports shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz

If you ve ever opened a lab result or imaging report and thought, I m not qualified to read this, you re not alone.

I m launching DecodeMD on January 26 a human-centered app that turns confusing medical report language into plain-English explanations in under a minute. It s designed for patients and family caregivers who are tired of panic-Googling at 11:30pm.

Two questions for you:

What s the most confusing phrase you ve seen in a medical report? (No personal details just the term/phrase.)
When you read results, what do you most want first: Is this urgent? or What does this mean?
