Bridging Health Literacy Gaps in Spine Care: Using ChatGPT-4o to Improve Patient-Education Materials
Spine-related PEMs from the AAOS, the NASS, and the AANS remain excessively complex, despite minor improvements to readability over the years. ChatGPT-4o demonstrated the potential to enhance PEM readability while maintaining content quality. Future efforts should integrate AI tools with visual aids and user-friendly platforms to create inclusive and comprehensible PEMs to address diverse patient needs and improve health-care delivery.
