Large language models in patient education: a scoping review of applications in medicine

1 Introduction
Large Language Models (LLMs) are sophisticated algorithms that analyze and generate extensive textual data (1). These models leverage vast corpora of unlabeled text and incorporate reinforcement learning from human feedback to discern syntactical patterns and contextual nuances within languages. Consequently, LLMs can produce responses that closely mimic human communication when presented with diverse, open-ended queries (2–4). Several notable LLMs have emerged recently, including GPT-4o by Open AI (5), Claude 3.5 Sonnet by Anthropic (6), and Gemini by Google (7).
LLMs have demonstrated significant potential in medicine, with transformative applications across various domains, including clinical settings. These AI-powered systems can streamline clinical workflows, help with clinical decision-making, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Recent studies highlight the utility of LLMs in clinical decision support, providing valuable insights that enable healthcare teams to make more informed treatment decisions (8–10). LLMs also show promise as educational tools by enhancing the quality and accessibility of materials. However, from a patient’s perspective, they present both opportunities and risks. The varying levels of medical knowledge among patients may impede their ability to critically assess the information provided by LLMs, unlike clinicians who are trained to do so.
As of July 2024, there was limited synthesis of knowledge regarding the evidence base, applications, and evaluation methods of LLMs in patient education and engagement. This scoping review aims to address this gap by mapping the available literature on potential applications of LLMs in patient education and identifying future research directions. Our primary research question is: “What are the current and potential uses of LLMs in patient education and engagement as described in the literature?” This review seeks to enhance future discussions on using LLMs for patient care, including education, engagement, workload reduction, patient-centered health customization, and communication.
2 Materials and methods
This study employed a scoping review methodology, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist (11). The review process was based on the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley (12), with further refinements as proposed by Levac et al. (13).
2.1 Literature search
A literature search was conducted in June 2024 using the PubMed database. The search strategy, detailed in Supplementary Methods S1, combined relevant keywords and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms related to LLMs and patient education.
2.2 Study selection
Citation management was facilitated by Covidence software (Veritas Health Innovation). The inclusion criteria encompassed studies addressing the use, accuracy, relevance, or effectiveness of LLMs in patient education, patient engagement, answering patient-specific questions, or generating patient education materials. Studies were excluded if they did not primarily focus on LLMs for patient education, engagement, or answering patient questions; did not assess LLMs in healthcare settings or had only indirect relations to patients; or focused solely on technical aspects or architecture of LLMs without considering their application in patient education or engagement. A detailed description of the inclusion and exclusion criteria is provided in Supplementary Methods S2.
The selection process involved two stages. In the initial screening, two authors (SA and VV) independently reviewed the titles and abstracts of retrieved articles. Studies passing the initial screening were then read in full by both authors. Studies deemed eligible by both reviewers were included in the analysis. In cases of disagreement, a third author (MK) was consulted to resolve discrepancies.
2.3 Thematic analysis
We employed thematic analysis, following the methodology proposed by Braun and Clarke (14), to address our primary research question. The process began with an author (SA) reading and coding 25 randomly selected articles, focusing on content related to the potential uses of LLMs in patient education and engagement. Subsequently, two authors (SA and MK) examined the remaining manuscripts, seeking additional themes or data that could either reinforce or challenge the established themes. This iterative process facilitated further refinement of the themes through group discussions centered on patient education and engagement.
3 Results

Within this theme, “Answering Patient Questions” was the most prevalent subtheme, representing 71.6% (144/201) of all articles. The remaining themes were distributed as follows: “Interpreting Medical Information from a Patient Perspective” and “Providing Lifestyle Recommendations and Improving Health Literacy” each accounted for 4.5% (9/201) of the articles. “Providing Pre-, Peri-, and Post-Operative Care Instructions” was represented in 6.9% (14/201) of the articles, while “Optimizing Doctor-Patient Interaction” appeared in 2.5% (5/201) of the articles. The least represented theme was “Customized Medication Use and Self-Decision,” accounting for 1% (2/201) of the articles.
3.3.1 Theme 1: generating patient education materials
The generation of patient education materials emerged as a prominent theme, with three key subthemes: answering patient questions, enhancing existing materials, and translating medical content. Answering patient questions was the most significant subtheme, representing 71.6% of the articles (8, 15–157). In these studies, LLMs created educational content by responding to common questions, direct patient inquiries, and expert-formulated queries, demonstrating their potential to address diverse patient information needs.
Most studies found LLMs provided accurate responses to patient queries. Almagazzachi et al. reported 92.5% accuracy for ChatGPT’s answers to hypertension questions (18). However, accuracy varied by specialty. In a study on pediatric in-toeing, Amaral et al. found 46% of responses were excellent, and 44% were satisfactory with minimal clarification needed (19). These findings suggest LLMs’ potential in patient education, while highlighting performance differences across medical fields.
The readability of LLM-generated content varied considerably across studies. ChatGPT’s responses often required a higher reading level, potentially limiting accessibility for some patients. Campbell et al. demonstrated that ChatGPT’s unprompted answers on obstructive sleep apnea had a mean Flesch–Kincaid grade level of 14.15, which decreased to 12.45 when prompted (32). This indicates that even with specific instructions, the content remained at a college reading level. In contrast, other LLMs showed better readability in some cases. Chervonski et al. reported that Google BARD produced more accessible content, with responses on vascular surgery diseases achieving a mean Flesch Reading Ease score of 58.9, indicating improved readability (40). When compared to traditional search engines, LLMs revealed a trade-off between comprehensiveness and readability. Cohen et al. found that while ChatGPT provided more detailed and higher-quality responses to cataract surgery FAQs compared to Google, these responses were at a higher reading level (42). These findings suggest that while LLMs may offer more comprehensive information, they do not always improve accessibility for the average patient.
LLMs show promise in transforming existing materials into more readable, patient-centered formats (158–174). Numerous studies demonstrate their ability to enhance readability across various medical education materials (158–161, 163–165, 168, 170–172, 174). Fanning et al. found comparable performance between ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 in improving plastic surgery material readability (166). Moons et al. reported Google BARD surpassed GPT in readability improvement but tended to omit information (169). Some studies, however, found no improvement or decreased readability (162, 167), indicating variability in LLM effectiveness. Interestingly, Sudharshan et al. noted LLMs were more accurate in creating readable Spanish materials (173), suggesting potential for addressing language-specific challenges.
Research on LLMs for translating patient education materials remains limited. However, a significant study by Grimm et al. showed ChatGPT-4’s ability to produce accurate, understandable, and actionable translations of otorhinolaryngology content in English, Spanish, and Mandarin (175).

However, Meyer et al. reported that ChatGPT, Gemini, and Le Chat were less accurate and more generalized than certified physicians in interpreting laboratory results (177), highlighting the variability in LLM performance across different contexts.
LLMs demonstrate potential in improving radiological information interpretation and communication. Kuckelman et al. found ChatGPT-4 produced generally accurate summaries of musculoskeletal radiology reports, noting some variability in human interpretation (82). Lyu et al. showed ChatGPT-4 enhanced translated radiology report quality and accessibility, despite occasional oversimplifications (178). Sarangi et al. reported ChatGPT-3.5 effectively simplified radiological reports while maintaining essential diagnostic information, though performance varied across conditions and imaging modalities (179). Several other studies support these findings, suggesting LLMs’ promising role in radiology communication (180–182).
Zaretsky et al. evaluated ChatGPT-4’s ability to convert discharge summaries into patient-friendly formats. The transformed summaries showed significant improvements in readability and understandability. However, the study raised concerns about accuracy and completeness, noting instances of omissions and hallucinations (183).
3.3.3 Theme 3: providing lifestyle recommendations and improving health literacy
Nine studies explored LLMs’ potential in offering lifestyle recommendations and enhancing health literacy. Alanezi et al. found ChatGPT effective in promoting health behavior changes among cancer patients, boosting health literacy and self-management (184). Bragazzi et al. showed ChatGPT’s capability to debunk sleep-related myths and provide accessible advice (185). In a follow-up study, they found Google BARD slightly outperformed ChatGPT-4 in identifying false statements and offering practical sleep-related advice (186). These findings suggest LLMs’ promising role in health education and lifestyle guidance.
Gray et al. demonstrated ChatGPT’s ability to generate realistic prenatal counseling dialogues (187). Minutolo et al. proposed a conversational agent to enhance health literacy by making Patient Information Leaflets queryable (188). Mondal et al. found ChatGPT provided reasonably accurate responses to lifestyle-related disease queries (189). Ponzo et al. reported ChatGPT offered general dietary guidance for NCDs but struggled with complex, multi-condition cases (190). Willms et al. explored ChatGPT’s potential in creating physical activity app content, emphasizing the need for expert review (1). Zaleski et al. found AI-generated exercise recommendations generally accurate but lacking comprehensiveness and at a college reading level (191). These studies highlight LLMs’ diverse applications in health education while noting their limitations.
3.3.4 Theme 4: customized medication use and self-decision
Two studies explored LLMs’ potential in medication guidance and self-decision support. Altamimi et al. found ChatGPT provided accurate advice on acute venomous snakebite management, while emphasizing the importance of professional care (192). In contrast, McMahon et al. observed ChatGPT accurately described clinician-managed abortion as safe but incorrectly portrayed self-managed abortion as dangerous, highlighting potential misinformation risks (193). These findings underscore both the promise and pitfalls of using LLMs for sensitive medical information.
3.3.5 Theme 5: providing pre-/peri-/post-operative care instructions
Studies investigated LLMs’ use in surgical patient education. Aliyeva et al. found ChatGPT-4 excelled in providing postoperative care instructions for cochlear implant patients, especially in remote settings (194). LLMs showed proficiency in offering postoperative guidance across various surgical specialties (180, 195–202). Dhar et al. noted ChatGPT’s accuracy in answering tonsillectomy questions, with some pain management inaccuracies (203). Patil et al. reported ChatGPT provided quality preoperative information for ophthalmic surgeries, though occasionally overlooking adverse events (204). Meyer et al. found ChatGPT reliable for postoperative gynecological surgery instructions (205). Breneman et al. and Kienzle et al. evaluated ChatGPT for preoperative counseling in Mohs surgery and knee arthroplasty, finding it potentially useful but cautioning about non-existing references (206, 207).
3.3.6 Theme 6: optimizing doctor-patient interaction
This theme explores LLMs’ potential to enhance doctor-patient communication, particularly in simplifying consent forms and improving general medical communication. Ali et al. found ChatGPT-4 successfully simplified surgical consent forms to an 8th-grade reading level while maintaining accuracy (208). Shiraishi et al. reported that revised ChatGPT-prepared informed consent documents for blepharoplasty were more desirable than originals (209).
LLMs also showed promise in broader doctor-patient communication. An et al. introduced an LLM-based education model that improved patients’ understanding of their conditions and treatments (210). Roberts et al. demonstrated LLMs could generate comprehensible outpatient clinic letters for cosmetic surgery, potentially saving clinicians’ time (211).

These studies highlight LLMs’ potential to enhance various aspects of medical communication.
4 Discussion
This scoping review synthesizes current applications and potential uses of LLMs in patient education and engagement, offering insights into their transformative potential and integration challenges in healthcare settings. LLMs demonstrate significant promise in creating patient education materials, with studies reporting that health-related questions were accurately answered over 90% of the time by systems like ChatGPT, covering a broad range of topics from hypertension to pediatric conditions (18, 31). The depth of these responses potentially offers substantial value to patients seeking detailed understanding of their ailments. However, readability remains a notable concern, potentially limiting accessibility for some patient populations.
LLMs have demonstrated competence in interpreting complex medical information from laboratory reports, radiology results, and discharge summaries. ChatGPT-4, for instance, generated informative summaries of radiology reports, making them more accessible to non-medical professionals (82, 178). However, concerns about the quality and comprehensiveness of LLM-generated information persist. Issues such as hallucinations, omissions, or plausible but incorrect information have been noted. Zaretsky et al. observed that while ChatGPT-4 could transform discharge summaries into more patient-friendly formats, occasional inaccuracies, and omissions could potentially mislead patients (183). These findings underscore the necessity for professional oversight in deploying LLMs in healthcare settings to ensure the reliability and accuracy of AI-generated content.
LLMs show promise as lifestyle recommendations and health literacy tools, effectively encouraging healthy behaviors and dispelling health myths. Alanezi et al. found that ChatGPT provided significant support in developing health literacy among cancer patients, motivating self-management through emotional, informational, and motivational assistance (184). Bragazzi and Garbarino demonstrated ChatGPT’s effectiveness in debunking sleep-related misconceptions, accurately distinguishing between false and genuine health information (185). However, personalization and accuracy remain challenging. While AI can offer useful preliminary advice, it requires further development to provide relevant, situation-specific suggestions tailored to individual patients. This customization is crucial for ensuring that patients can trust and adhere to the recommendations provided.
LLMs play a significant role in providing information on self-medication and personalized drug utilization, offering detailed insights on drug interactions, correct usage, and potential side effects. Altamimi et al. found ChatGPT’s information helpful and accurate in guiding acute venomous snakebite management, though it appropriately emphasized the need for professional medical care (192). LLMs also show potential in patient triage, quickly analyzing symptoms and medical history to prioritize cases based on severity (10). However, the quality of LLM-provided information varies considerably. McMahon et al. reported that ChatGPT gave inaccurate and misleading information about self-managed medication abortion, incorrectly portraying it as dangerous despite evidence of its safety and efficacy (193). This inconsistency highlights the risks of relying on AI without professional oversight and underscores the need for LLMs to provide accurate, up-to-date, and context-sensitive information to support safe self-medication practices.
