HILTON HEAD, S.C. - June 19, 2025 - PRLog -- Hilton Head, SC — According to the U.S. Department of Education, only 12% of American adults are considered health-literate. That means nearly 9 in 10 people struggle to understand their medical reports — a crisis that contributes to over $100 billion in avoidable healthcare costs annually, per CDC estimates.

RosettaMD is a new, free AI-powered tool designed to help patients bridge that gap. It translates real clinical documents — including CT scans, lab results, imaging notes, and discharge summaries — into plain, compassionate English. The platform was built by Hilton Head vascular surgeon Dr. Chris Wixon after seeing firsthand how medical language confusion can lead to fear and misinformed decisions.
