Regulatory and promotional review

Find hard-to-read risk text before it reaches MLR

FDA's ad office, OPDP, had posted 61 letters by late October 2025, and many cite risk text that is hard to read. HealthLiteracyCopilot checks reading level, sentence length and plain wording in each risk statement before MLR. Protected terms stay word for word. Every change, review and sign-off stays on record.

What you're measured on

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

  • OPDP letters that cite risk text

    Why it matters
    OPDP sent 5 letters a year in 2023 and 2024, then had posted 61 by late October 2025. Many cite risk text that is hard to read or easy to misread.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Each risk statement is checked for reading level, sentence length and plain wording before it goes to MLR. Your reviewers see each change and the reason for it.

    We don't promise fewer letters. Your regulatory team decides what goes out.

  • Patient Medication Information (PMI) readiness

    Why it matters
    FDA's regulatory agenda lists the PMI final rule for December 2026. It would replace Medication Guides and patient package inserts with one patient-facing page in a set format, so outpatient prescription drugs, brand and generic, would need new patient labeling.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Medication guides are written to a target grade from your approved labeling. Protected terms and approved wording stay word for word, and each reviewer's decision is recorded.

    The rule is not final, and its format may change. Your labeling team decides what is submitted.

  • MLR review rounds

    Why it matters
    A piece that comes back for clarity issues goes through medical, legal, regulatory and safety review again.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Clarity issues are flagged before MLR starts. Reviewers work in series or in parallel, and each decision is recorded.

    We don't promise fewer rounds or a cycle time. Count your rounds before and after and see for yourself.

  • Audit trail

    Why it matters
    When someone asks who approved a piece, which version and when, the answer has to be on record.
    How HealthLiteracyCopilot helps
    Part 11-style e-signatures and an append-only audit trail keep each version, decision and sign-off. A release gate comes before the hand-off to Veeva.

    The record shows what was reviewed and signed. Whether your process meets a regulation is a question for your quality and legal teams.

Questions

Does this replace MLR review?

No. It prepares materials before MLR review. Your medical, legal, regulatory and safety reviewers decide, and each decision is recorded.

Does it change safety language?

No. Protected terms and approved disclaimers stay word for word, and the meaning check flags any change for your reviewers.

Do you need patient data?

No. Send approved public material or a blank template, never a patient's details.
