AI can translate dense medical documents into plain language. Here's what it does well — and where a doctor is still essential.

Medical documents are written for clinicians, not patients. AI can help bridge that gap by summarizing a result and highlighting what stands out. Our Help Center explains exactly how the analysis works.

"AI doesn't replace the conversation between doctor and patient — it makes that conversation better. A patient who has already read an AI summary of their results asks sharper questions."

Dr. Lina Haddad, CMO, Looms

What AI does well

  • Summarizing long documents in plain language
  • Flagging values that fall outside normal ranges
  • Pointing you toward questions worth asking

What it can't replace

AI offers context, not a diagnosis. It can't examine you, know your full history, or weigh the nuances a clinician considers. Treat it as a guide that helps you have a better conversation with your doctor.
