Abstract:
Health literacy empowers people to access, understand and apply health information to effectively manage their own health and to be an active participant in healthcare decisions. In this paper we propose a conceptual model for cognitive factors affecting health literacy and related socioeconomic aspects. Then we develop the HEALIE Knowledge Graph to represent the model, drawing from various medical ontologies, resources, and insights from domain experts. Finally, we combine the Knowledge Graph with a Large Language Model to generate personalised medical content and showcase the results through an example.
