I have some thoughts 1/n
Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

A late post but want to get the word out there! New prelim work using generative AI to simplify hospital discharge instructions is out in npj Digital Medicine! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The model was able to simplify instructions effectively, but 18% of outputs had a major safety risk.
The Sydney Health Literacy Lab is coming to Bluesky soon! This is about half of us, working across a huge range of health topics. We're passionate about #healthcommunication that meets #healthliteracy needs to improve equity, using behavioural & social science methods with a codesign approach.
