The premise
Patient education varies wildly in quality and reading level. AI can produce consistent, well-structured handouts at a target reading level — but every clinical statement still needs source verification.
What AI does well here
- Hit a target reading level (Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG)
- Produce parallel versions in multiple languages
- Generate visuals or analogies for hard-to-explain concepts
- Spot statements that should cite a specific guideline
What AI cannot do
- Verify clinical accuracy against current guidelines
- Adjust for individual patient context (comorbidities, literacy)
- Replace the conversation with the patient where questions get asked
