Dataset Card for Medical-V2-Balanced
Dataset Summary
Medical-Balanced is a curated dataset focusing on medical text simplification and clinical risk communication. It is "balanced" across different types of medical information—ranging from general health facts to critical surgical warnings.
The goal of this dataset is to train models to communicate medical jargon in a patient-centric way that prioritizes clarity and safety.
Dataset Structure
The dataset is provided in JSONL format with the following fields:
- instruction: Usually "Explain this medical text in simple terms."
- input: Clinical descriptions, diagnosis details, or treatment plans.
- output:
- Explanation: Simplified, patient-friendly language.
- Risk Level:
- 🟢 Green (Informational): General health status or facts.
- 🟡 Yellow (Standard Warning): Routine risks associated with treatments.
- 🔴 Red (Critical/Urgent): Situations requiring immediate action.
- Reason: Contextualizing the safety logic.
Data Diversity
This version ensures a balanced distribution of risk levels. Unlike standard medical datasets that may be purely informational, this version includes specific procedural warnings to help models distinguish between routine information and high-stakes clinical advice.
Maintenance and Safety
Disclaimer: This dataset is intended for research and development in NLP simplification. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
