Use AI to review your patient education materials by simulating family members with different health literacy levels.
Before handing out patient education materials, you can use AI to test how understandable they really are. Ask AI to role-play as family members with varying reading abilities and health backgrounds—someone who never finished high school, someone anxious and skimming quickly, or someone whose first language isn't English. For each perspective, have AI flag sentences that would confuse that person and suggest simpler alternatives. This multi-lens review catches jargon, assumes knowledge you didn't realize you were making, and spots places where you need examples or visual cues. Run your draft through three or four different literacy personas, collect all the feedback, then ask AI to help you create a revised version that works for everyone. This process takes about 10 minutes but dramatically improves how many patients and families actually understand and retain your instructions. Always review AI's suggestions with your clinical judgment and unit standards before finalizing.

For each persona, tell me which sentences or sections would confuse them and why, then suggest how to rewrite those parts more clearly. After all four reviews, summarize the top 5 changes I should make. Here's the content: [paste your draft]”
