NLP-Based Feedback to Improve Risk Comms and Informed Shared Decision Making

Description

In this pilot study, the investigators will show feasibility of the NLP-based feedback system in 20 consultations of men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. The investigators will recruit from the practices of up to 10 physicians who typically see these patients. The investigators will report the top five sentences from each consultation across key content areas (cancer prognosis, life expectancy, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and irritative urinary symptoms) to both patients and physicians within 2 weeks of the consultation.
