Model Card for AI-Driven Health Literacy Simplification Model
This model simplifies complex medical texts to a 6th-grade reading level, enhancing health literacy among patients with low health literacy.
Model Details
Model Description
This model uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to translate complex medical information into a format that is accessible to individuals with a 6th-grade reading level. The goal is to improve comprehension and health outcomes for patients with low health literacy.

Uses
Direct Use
[The model can be used directly to simplify patient education materials to improve accessibility and comprehension.]
Downstream Use [optional]
[The model can be integrated into healthcare platforms and patient portals to provide simplified information, aiding patients in understanding their medical conditions and treatment plans.]
Out-of-Scope Use
[The model should not be used for generating medical advice or instructions without proper validation from healthcare professionals to avoid misinformation.]
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
[The model may not fully capture all nuances of medical information, leading to oversimplification or loss of critical details. There is also a risk of bias in the training data affecting the output.]
Recommendations
Users should validate the simplified text with healthcare professionals to ensure accuracy and completeness of the information.
