Cancer information tools must meet a tested standard: reading age around 12, main languages of the population, audio versions and clear numbers, or they are not certified for use.
Patient letters, portals and apps are written for the people who build them. A certification (like accessibility standards WCAG) for health literacy would specify reading level, numeracy formats (natural frequencies, icon arrays), translation coverage matched to the served population, and testing with low-literacy users. Health systems and regulators would require certification for patient-facing oncology tools.
