In a recent session of the weekly NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Grand Rounds series (recording and slides available at link below), Duke AI Health Faculty Affiliate Matthew Engelhard, MD, PhD, (left) and Anivarya Kumar, (right) a fourth-year medical student at Duke University School of Medicine, presented a talk titled “A Cross-Sectional Study of GPT-4–Based Plain Language Translation of Clinical Notes to Improve Patient Comprehension of Disease Course and Management.” In this presentation, Engelhard and Kumar described a project that employed the widely available GPT-4 large-language model to render physicians’ clinical notes into plain-language versions that would be more readily understood by patients.
