Use AI to review your patient-facing materials by simulating the questions confused patients will actually ask.

You've drafted a handout, discharge instruction, or treatment plan summary. It looks clear to you — but will your patients actually understand it? Before you hand it out, ask AI to become a confused patient and fire questions at your material. This surfaces the gaps, jargon, and unclear steps you missed because you already know the content too well. Paste your draft and ask AI to read it as a patient with limited medical knowledge, then generate 8–10 genuine questions they'd have after reading. You'll quickly see where instructions are vague, terms aren't defined, or key 'what if' scenarios are missing. Once you see the questions, you can revise the material to preemptively answer them — turning a decent handout into one that actually works in real life. This is especially powerful for discharge instructions, new medication starts, or chronic disease self-management plans. The questions AI generates often mirror exactly what patients ask at follow-up visits or in portal messages. By addressing them upfront, you reduce confusion, phone calls, and patient anxiety. Always review AI's suggestions and ensure any added content is clinically accurate and appropriate for your patient population before using it.

I'm going to paste a patient handout I created. Please read it as a patient with an 8th-grade reading level and limited medical knowledge. After reading, generate 10 realistic questions this patient would have — including things that seem unclear, steps that are vague, or 'what if' scenarios I didn't address. Be specific about which part of the handout triggered each question. [paste your draft handout here]
