Our solution is Simplify, an AI and natural language processing-based tool, to be integrated into the EMR to improve communication and readability of patient-facing materials. Our goal is to reduce preventable hospital readmissions and empower patients to take control of their health outcomes as they navigate the health system- to better understand their medical conditions, medication dosing instructions, and the timeline for follow-up. Health Literacy disproportionately affects various groups, including 20% of adults who read at a 5th-grade reading level or below, Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans, seniors and young adults, and Medicare and Medicaid population. Health literacy also affects our economy with 65% of preventable readmissions associated with poor health literacy. 50% of readmissions can be reduced with improvements to discharge instruction readability. We have the potential to create this change nationwide.Join us on this journey to reduce health disparities by breaking down barriers in communication, the very basis of human interaction.
