Use AI to review your patient education handouts by simulating real patient reading levels and confusion points.

You spent time writing a great handout explaining a diagnosis or home care instructions — but will your patient actually understand it? Before you print or email it, paste your draft into AI and ask it to flag sentences that might confuse someone with limited medical knowledge, identify jargon you missed, and predict where readers will get lost or misinterpret instructions. This works especially well if you tell the AI the reading level or patient population you're targeting (like older adults, teens, or people for whom English is a second language). AI can also rewrite flagged sections into simpler language and suggest where you need more detail or examples. This multi-step review helps you catch unclear phrases, overly technical terms, or missing context that you've become blind to after working with the material all day. Always read the AI's suggestions carefully and adjust the handout using your clinical judgment — the goal is a final document your patient can actually use at home with confidence.

I wrote this patient education handout about rotator cuff exercises. Review it as if you are a 68-year-old patient with an 8th-grade reading level who has never done physical therapy before. Flag any sentences that are confusing, identify medical jargon I should replace, predict where I might misunderstand the instructions, and suggest simpler rewrites for those sections. Here is my draft: [paste your handout text]
