# Simpled.ai for Healthcare -- Patient Communication Layer Simpled.ai is an AI whiteboard animation tool that turns discharge summaries, lab reports, and care instructions into patient-friendly explainer videos in 29 languages. Built for health systems and clinicians. Free tier available; plans from $29/month. ## The patient communication layer for modern health systems. Turn medical reports into simple patient-friendly videos -- in minutes.

The CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program penalizes the systems that need help most. Visual, language-matched discharge education has one of the strongest evidence bases for moving this number -- and it's a lever you can pull tomorrow without hiring a single FTE. ### Raise HCAHPS in the dimensions you've struggled with. Communication with doctors, communication with nurses, and discharge information are three of the lowest-scoring HCAHPS dimensions in most systems. A 90-second animation in the patient's hand directly addresses all three. ### Recover nursing hours at scale. Across a typical med-surg unit, staff spend a measurable share of every shift re-explaining diagnoses, medications, and post-discharge plans -- often to family members who weren't in the room. Shift that burden to a tool that does it once, perfectly, in any language. ### Silence after-hours call volume. When families have a daily animated update, the nursing station phone stops ringing at 11 PM. Fewer anxious inquiries, fewer portal message floods, and a care team that can focus on patients in the building. ## "The most expensive failure mode in healthcare isn't clinical -- it's communicative." A discharge summary is six pages of jargon. A radiology report names anatomy the patient has never heard of. A daily ICU update becomes a game of telephone among five family members, each hearing a different version. The patient nods, signs, and goes home -- and a week later they're back in the ED, often for a reason that traces directly to something they were told but didn't understand. This is the gap our product was built to close. Not by hiring more discharge navigators. Not by printing better brochures. By generating, on demand, the explanation that should have been there in the first place. ## Three steps. Minutes, not months. **Step 1 -- Connect to your EMR.** We integrate with Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Athena, and most modern HL7 / FHIR-compliant systems. Implementation is measured in weeks, not quarters. PHI never leaves your perimeter. **Step 2 -- AI generates the animation.** In under five minutes, the system produces a narrated whiteboard animation -- diagnosis, anatomy, mechanism, medications, red-flag symptoms, follow-up -- at the appropriate health-literacy level. Available in 30+ languages. **Step 3 -- Deliver where the patient already is.** SMS, email, patient portal, MyChart, or printed QR on the discharge packet -- the animation meets patients on the channel they actually use. ## USE CASES Each deployment delivers measurable ROI. Most health systems start with discharge education and expand from there. ### 01. Discharge education Replace paperwork with a 90-sec video patients can rewatch and share -- reducing readmissions and missed follow-ups. ### 02. Lab and radiology report explanation Turn complex reports into simple explanations -- reducing patient confusion and call volume. ### 03. EMR Record Summarization Convert long records into clear visual summaries -- saving clinician time and improving handoffs. ### 04. Daily progress updates for families Send 60-sec updates to families -- reducing calls and keeping everyone aligned. ## BUILT FOR HEALTHCARE PROCUREMENT Every requirement your legal, security, and IT teams will raise -- answered before the conversation begins. ### Compliance HIPAA-aligned. SOC 2 Type II in progress. BAA standard. Detailed audit logs on every generation. ### Deployment Cloud, private cloud, or on-premise. PHI processing can be confined entirely to your environment. ### Integration Native connectors for Epic (App Orchard), Cerner, Meditech, Athena, plus standard FHIR R4 and HL7 v2. ### Clinician oversight Every animation is reviewable, editable, and approvable by a credentialed clinician before release. ### Security End-to-end encryption, role-based access control, and full audit trails. ### Pricing Per-bed annual licensing with volume tiers for IDNs and large systems. Pilot pricing for first deployments. ## A WORD TO THE PEOPLE WHO RUN HOSPITALS > Your clinical team is doing extraordinary work. The bottleneck isn't medicine -- it's the conversation that has to happen around the medicine, in eight languages, at three literacy levels, for the patient and the spouse and the daughter who flew in from out of state. That conversation is what your HCAHPS scores measure, what your readmission rate reflects, and what your nursing staff is burning out trying to provide. We built the layer that finally scales it. ## Who We Work With Built for healthcare providers improving patient communication and outcomes. ### Acute Care Hospitals Reduce readmissions, boost discharge understanding, and lift HCAHPS scores through clearer communication. ### Health Systems & IDNs Standardize patient communication across facilities with consistent, scalable explanations for every patient. ### Skilled Nursing & Post-Acute Care Simplify high-acuity transitions, improve care continuity, and keep families informed. ### Academic Medical Centers Reduce resident workload while improving the quality and clarity of patient education across complex cases. ### Specialty Hospitals Enhance understanding in cardiac, oncology, and women's & children's care where clarity directly impacts outcomes. ### Outpatient & Ambulatory Centers Improve patient understanding, increase follow-up adherence, and reduce confusion post-visit. ## FAQ Everything you need to know before getting started ### How does the platform work? We connect to your EMR, pull the relevant clinical document (discharge summary, lab report, radiology read, daily ICU note), and generate a narrated whiteboard animation at the appropriate reading level -- in your patient's preferred language. The animation is reviewable by a clinician before it reaches the patient. ### Is patient data secure and compliant? Yes. The platform is HIPAA-aligned, supports secure deployment (cloud or on-premise), and ensures patient data never leaves your environment. ### Do clinicians need to review the content? By default, every generation is queued for clinician review and sign-off before release. You can configure auto-release for lower-risk document types once your team is comfortable. ### How is the content delivered to patients? SMS, email, patient portal, MyChart, or a printed QR code on the discharge packet. Patients can watch, rewatch, and share with family -- on any device, anywhere. ### How long does implementation take? Most pilot deployments go live in 4-8 weeks. Full system rollouts across an IDN typically complete in a quarter. ## See it on one of your own discharge summaries Send us a de-identified sample from your system.
