Abstract

A recent study conducted at the University of Health Sciences aimed to assess the readability of online patient education materials related to brainstem implants. The study found that all websites examined had a high level of readability, surpassing the recommended 6th-grade reading level suggested by the American Medical Association. This may hinder patients and their families from fully understanding the materials. The researchers suggest that health professionals and institutions should strive to strike a balance between scientific accuracy and readability to make these materials more accessible to a broader audience.
