Looking for tools to help write health information more simply? Try the Health Literacy Editor. Our trial showed it helps people:
✔️ Lower the grade reading level
✔️ Use less jargon & passive voice
✔️ Score higher on expert health literacy ratings

When laparoscopic examination is performed on women with severe pelvic pain, 45% have #endometriosis lesions.

When it's performed on women with NO pain, 44% do.

Statisticians, what does that suggest? 🤔

Pelvic pain is real. The role that #endometriosis lesions may (or may not) play in that pain is debatable.

A late post but want to get the word out there! New prelim work using generative AI to simplify hospital discharge instructions is out in npj Digital Medicine! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The model was able to simplify instructions effectively, but 18% of outputs had a major safety risk.
