Health literacy is defined as the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. Only 12% of adults have proficient health literacy (according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy), and low health literacy rates is a key barrier to Americans managing their health and wellness. Health, and especially health insurance language, is perceived as a “foreign language” by many and as such we were interested in tackling it using emerging technology strategies to ‘translate’ health content.
