Enhancing Accessibility of Medical Texts through Large Language Model-Driven Plain Language Adaptation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

This paper addresses the challenge of making complex healthcare information more accessible through automated Plain Language Adaptation (PLA). PLA aims to simplify technical medical language, bridging a critical gap between the complexity of healthcare texts and patients' reading comprehension. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT and BART, have opened new possibilities for PLA, especially in zero-shot and few-shot learning contexts where task-specific data is limited. In this work, we leverage the capabilities of LLMs such as GPT-4o-mini, Gemini-1.5-pro, and LLaMA for
