Professional medical publications writers (PMWs) cover a wide range of biomedical writing activities that recently includes translation of biomedical publications to plain language summaries (PLS). The consumer health informatics literature (CHI) consistently describes the importance of incorporating health literacy principles in any natural language processing (NLP) app designed to communicate medical information to lay audiences, particularly patients. In this stepwise systematic review, we searched PubMed indexed literature for CHI NLP-based apps that have the potential to assist PMWs in developing text based PLS. Results showed that available apps are limited to patient portals and other technologies used to communicate medical text and reports from electronic health records. PMWs can apply the lessons learned from CHI NLP-based apps to supervise development of tools specific to text simplification and summarization for PLS from biomedical publications.
