Evaluating the Readability of a Custom Generative Pre-Trained Transformer with Retrieval Augmentation for Pediatric Neurocutaneous Syndromes

ABSTRACT

Our study develops a GPT assistant for neurocutaneous diseases with a custom knowledge base, tests its ability to answer common patient questions, and shows that a GPT using retrieval augmentation generation can improve the readability of patient educational material without prompting a specific reading level.
