Tiny Tars Foundation

Health literacy, free to anyone who needs it

Our largest program is LexiTar, a health literacy utility developed as a Digital Public Good and maintained by the Foundation. Almost everyone has been handed a page of results about their own body that they could not read. LexiTar translates the terminology in your own record into plain language, maps your readings against a standard demographic reference range, and helps you write down the questions you want to ask before the appointment rather than after it. It is free, private, and donor-supported, it gives no medical advice, and it stops where medicine starts.

Read what the program does, or go straight to whichever describes your problem: understanding what your lab results say, orwalking into your appointment prepared.
