HealthLiteracyCopilot™: Revolutionizing Healthcare Communication with AI-Powered Health Literacy Assessment

ANAHEIM, CA, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA) is proud to announce the launch of HealthLiteracyCopilot™, an AI-powered web application designed to revolutionize health content assessment, review, editing, and translation services. This groundbreaking tool enables healthcare organizations to produce clear, compliant, and actionable health information at scale, addressing the critical need for improved readability and accessibility in patient materials.

Addressing a National Crisis in Health Literacy
Health literacy remains a significant challenge in the United States, with 88% of adults possessing "less than proficient" health literacy, making it difficult to understand and act upon medical information. The consequences of complex, jargon-heavy healthcare materials include poor patient engagement, reduced adherence to treatment plans, and increased healthcare costs. Studies estimate that low health literacy costs the U.S. economy up to $238 billion annually.

Research underscores the importance of plain language in healthcare communications. A 2024 randomized trial by Sayfi et al. found that plain language versions of health recommendations significantly improved comprehension, accessibility, usability, and satisfaction compared to standard versions.

Additionally, a 2008 study by Yin et al. demonstrated that a pictogram-based intervention using plain language reduced medication dosing errors and improved adherence among caregivers of young children. These findings reinforce the necessity of ensuring patient materials adhere to plain language principles.

HealthLiteracyCopilot™ directly addresses these challenges by providing AI-driven solutions that streamline content creation, enhance readability, and ensure compliance with health literacy standards.

A Powerful Collaboration Between Industry Leaders
The development of HealthLiteracyCopilot™ is a result of a strategic collaboration between IHA, a not-for-profit leader in health literacy, and HealthcareGPS, an innovator in AI-driven healthcare navigation solutions. Together, they have applied cutting-edge AI technology to industry-standard assessment tools such as:

AHRQ's Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT)
IHA’s Plain Language Assessment Tool for Organizations (PLATO™) and Numeric-Plain Language Assessment Tool (N-PLAT™)

By automating the application of these tools, HealthLiteracyCopilot™ empowers healthcare organizations to evaluate and refine consumer facing materials quickly and efficiently, ensuring they meet regulatory standards while enhancing patient understanding and engagement.

Transforming Healthcare Communications with AI
Unlike traditional readability-focused tools, HealthLiteracyCopilot™ integrates cultural relevance, numeracy, and design evaluation into its AI-powered assessments.

A Game-Changer for Healthcare Organizations
Health systems, pharmaceutical companies, payers, and public health organizations can now reduce manual review bottlenecks, accelerate content approval workflows, and ensure that health materials meet the highest standards of clarity and accessibility.

"At IHA, we have dedicated over 25 years to advancing health literacy toward health equity.
