The Yale School of Nursing launched a pilot for 'CARDIO,' an AI tool for cardiovascular patient education [1]. This large language model helps patients understand the importance of medications and physical activity [1]. The tool supports clinicians during discussions about heart disease risk factors [1]. By explaining complex medical concepts simply, CARDIO aims to improve how patients manage lifestyle modifications [1]. Researchers hope the technology will fill critical knowledge gaps for those at risk of heart disease [1]. The pilot currently focuses on enhancing patient engagement during routine medical consultations [1].
