CTRL + ALT + HEAL is a web platform designed to simplify medical reports and empower patients (and their families) to actually understand what’s going on.
We take complicated medical language — the kind that sounds like it was written by a robot with a thesaurus — and translate it into clear, human-readable explanations. No more Googling your labs and spiraling.
Built by students passionate about medicine, coding, and accessibility,
CTRL + ALT + HEAL is a tool for anyone who’s ever looked at a test
result and thought,
“...Is this bad??”
To make medical knowledge understandable, actionable, and a little less scary — no med degree required. We believe that information is power, and everyone deserves access to it.
A team of curious students (and hopefully future healthcare pros!) combining coding skills, science brains, and a love for clarity. We believe in tech that helps people — especially when it comes to their health.
This project started the way many great things do — with confusion and a “Wait, what?” moment. After reading a real medical report full of jargon and vague terms, we realized that even smart, curious people struggle to understand their own health info.
So we decided to do something about it. CTRL + ALT + HEAL began as a
small idea:
“What if we made this easier to read?”
That idea turned into a tool, then a platform — and now a growing
project to make health literacy more accessible to everyone.
We're just getting started. Here's what's on the roadmap:
We're always building, always improving — and we’re listening. Got ideas? Let us know!
CTRL + ALT + HEAL does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider — we just make it easier to understand what’s being said.
