AI Lay Summary Patient Partner Review Committee

We’re excited to share that the Network has been developing an AI Lay Summary Assistance Tool, designed to support knowledge translation by generating accessible lay summaries directly from the full text of peer-reviewed journal articles. The lay summary tool will soon be available for Network members to use. After creating each lay summary, we will be asking the article authors and a patient partner review committee to review the lay summaries for accuracy and accessibility.

We are in the process of creating the patient partner review committee and are seeking a few more interested patientpartners to join. The lay summaries can be reviewed asynchronously and at the discretion of the patient partner, meaning that there will not be a large time commitment involved.

If you know of any patient partners who may be interested in joining the review committee, please have them reach out to the Network Coordinator scrocke6@uwo.ca for further details.
