One word for 'Person being evaluated'

I am developing a software application for a Medical Committee which will analyse [medical] examination results and issue certificates based on them. The Committee never sees the person and the exam results may be years old, so 'patient' is not a good term.

What can I call the person who is being evaluated? In Spanish they use Evaluado which may be 'Evaluated' or 'Evaluee' but I don't know which to use or if they are correct.

It would be great to use a single word, not a phrase like 'Person being evaluated'.


A term used for the person being evaluated in many scientific and medical studies is subject

a person or thing that undergoes experiment, analysis, treatment, etc


I would suggest Patient is exactly the right term. The person was a patient at the time the original examination was performed.

Evaluee is a possibility, but it seems rather impersonal. The Committee is dealing with results from real people.


An evaluee is usually used in flight related duties i.e. in the military. In the U.S. Navy we use this term for people getting an evaluation on their crew position - enlisted or officer (pilot, gunner and etc.)/
