Artificial Intelligence (AI) versus Real Intelligence (RI): How They Stack up in Health Literacy Review
Poster abstract: Health literacy is critical for effective patient education and health equity, but many health materials remain hard to understand. AI can help offer solutions to simplify materials and integrate health literacy as a universal precaution. The ability of AI to match RI or human review in enhancing health literacy has not been fully explored. Our project compares AI using an Academic Health System’s (AHS) internal ChatGPT and RI to improve health literacy in patient education materials. We used the PEMAT evidence-based tool to assess the readability of patient handouts rewritten by AI versus those evaluated and revised by human reviewers.

Applying Chat GPT-4 to Assess the Understandability and Actionability of Pharmacist-Recommended Dietary Supplements’ Labeling
Poster abstract: About 60% of adults use dietary supplements (DS). Over 20,000 ER visits yearly are due to DS. The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printable Materials (PEMAT-P) is an instrument to assess the understandability and actionability of patient educational materials. The OTC Guide contains a list of pharmacist-recommended nonprescription products including DS. This study involves applying Chat GPT-4 to the PEMAT-P to obtain an understandability and actionability score for the most commonly recommended DS by pharmacists for 18 conditions. Understandability and actionability scores ranged from 50-100% but scores > 70% are generally preferred. Implications of the study will be discussed.
