Use AI to review your patient education handouts by simulating patients with different health literacy levels.
You've drafted a handout explaining a new diagnosis or treatment plan — but will your patients actually understand it? Before printing dozens of copies or emailing it out, use AI to simulate how patients with varying health literacy levels would interpret your content. Ask AI to role-play as a patient with limited health literacy, then as one with high anxiety, then as one who distrusts the healthcare system. Each perspective will reveal different gaps: confusing medical terms, missing context, or sections that could trigger fear or resistance. This multi-lens review helps you catch issues that a single read-through misses. You'll spot jargon you didn't realize was jargon, identify where you assumed too much background knowledge, and find places where your tone might unintentionally sound dismissive. Make the revisions AI suggests, then run the updated version through the same gauntlet again. Remember: AI is your draft reviewer, not your clinical advisor. Always verify that the educational content itself is medically accurate and appropriate for your patient population before distributing it. Never paste real patient information into these tools.

“You are a 58-year-old patient with an 8th-grade reading level who has just been diagnosed with prediabetes. Read this patient education handout I drafted and tell me: What parts confuse you? What questions do you still have? What words or phrases don't you understand? Be honest about anything that feels scary, unclear, or like I'm talking down to you. [Paste your handout text here]”
