Content design

Every screen asks for one thing, in plain words

People act on what your app tells them. HealthLiteracyCopilot scores onboarding screens, enrollment steps and push, SMS and email copy against your target grade and PEMAT actionability. It checks each message against its channel's limits, and persona testing shows where simulated readers get stuck before real users do.

For content designers, UX writers and product content leads at digital-health companies

Send a blank template, not a copy with a patient's or member's details.

What you're measured on

Open a measure to see why it matters and how HealthLiteracyCopilot helps.

  • Onboarding completion

    Why it matters
    Onboarding screens, enrollment steps and reminders all ask people to do something.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Each screen is checked for reading grade and one action, and PEMAT actionability shows where people may get stuck. Short copy gets an estimated grade.

    We don't promise completion or engagement. Track your own funnel to see what changes.

  • Messages within channel limits

    Why it matters
    Each channel has its own limits, from text-message segments to email subject length.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Text messages get a segment count and an opt-out line. Email subjects are checked up to 60 characters and preview text up to 90. Push messages show as they will look on screen.

    Your team approves every message before release.

  • Copy tested before release

    Why it matters
    Real users meet your copy once, and a fix after launch waits for the next release.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Persona testing runs onboarding flows on simulated readers before real users see them. Plain words for health and money terms come from your glossary.

    Simulated readers point to problems. They do not replace research with real users.

Questions

Do you need user data?

No. Send screen text, templates or sample messages, never a user's details.

Can we keep our own terms?

Yes. Your glossary sets the words, and required notices and consent text are kept word for word.
