Help us make health education accessible to everyone.
Your health, explained simply — so everyone can understand their lab results, medications, and conditions without needing a medical degree.
PlainHealth is a health education app that explains lab results, medications, conditions, and health topics in plain, jargon-free language. It is built and maintained by a single developer who believes that understanding your health should not require years of medical training.
Every feature is designed with privacy at its core — the app operates 100% offline with no data collection, no accounts, and no tracking. PlainHealth is available on iOS and Android. Core features are free, with optional premium content available through a one-time in-app purchase. Your support helps us continue improving the app and building more educational tools.
88% of adults have difficulty understanding health information (NIH). After a doctor visit, most patients forget 40-80% of what was discussed. PlainHealth bridges that gap by explaining health topics in language anyone can understand.
Lab results arrive with numbers and abbreviations that mean nothing to most people. PlainHealth explains what each test measures, what high or low values mean, and what you can do about it — all in plain English.
Medications come with leaflets full of medical jargon. PlainHealth tells you what a drug does, what to watch for, what foods to avoid, and what questions to ask your doctor — clearly and concisely.
PlainHealth is not a substitute for professional medical advice. It is an educational companion that helps you have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider and make better decisions about your health.
