AI Pathology Study

We are studying how to make medical test results easier for patients to understand. Pathology reports, which explain what doctors find in tissue samples, are often written for medical professionals and can be hard for patients to read. In this study, we are testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help explain these reports in plain language. Patients having a routine screening procedure will read a sample report with or without an AI-generated explanation. Then they will answer questions about how well they understood the report and how they felt about it. We want to learn if using AI helps people better understand their health information and feel more confident making decisions. This will help improve the way test results are shared in the future.
