The premise
AI can draft a teach-back script that lets the consent process catch missing understanding before the day of surgery.
What AI does well here
- Convert the consent form into 4-5 plain-language teach-back questions
- Offer prompts for what 'good enough understanding' sounds like
- Suggest a fallback explanation when the patient cannot teach back
What AI cannot do
- Replace the surgeon's risk discussion
- Decide whether the patient has decisional capacity
- Substitute for an interpreter when language access is needed
