Medical, wellness, and healthcare professional prompts
Patient Education Material on Type 2 Diabetes
Write patient education material about Type 2 Diabetes for {patient_population} at a {reading_level} reading level. Cover blood glucose monitoring, the relationship between carbohydrate intake and readings, medication adherence, foot and eye checks, and the warning signs of both hypo- and hyperglycaemia. Avoid moralising language about diet, which measurably reduces engagement. Structure it as: what the condition is in plain language, what it means day to day, the treatment or management plan, what the patient can do themselves, what to monitor, and — stated prominently — when to seek urgent care. Define every clinical term on first use or avoid it. Use short sentences, the active voice and second person. Include a questions-to-ask-your-clinician section, which measurably improves consultations. State clearly that this supports rather than replaces professional medical advice. Flag anything that should be reviewed by a qualified clinician before distribution, and note where content must be localised to local clinical guidelines.
Patient Education Material on Hypertension
Write patient education material about Hypertension for {patient_population} at a {reading_level} reading level. Emphasise that it is usually symptomless, which is precisely why adherence lapses. Cover home monitoring technique, sodium and activity, medication side effects people commonly stop over, and the specific readings that warrant urgent contact.

Write patient education material about Asthma for {patient_population} at a {reading_level} reading level. Distinguish reliever from preventer inhalers clearly, since confusing them is a common and dangerous error. Cover inhaler technique step by step, trigger identification, the written action plan, and the signs of an attack requiring emergency care. Structure it as: what the condition is in plain language, what it means day to day, the treatment or management plan, what the patient can do themselves, what to monitor, and — stated prominently — when to seek urgent care. Define every clinical term on first use or avoid it. Use short sentences, the active voice and second person.

Patient Education Material on Depression
Write patient education material about Depression for {patient_population} at a {reading_level} reading level. Use non-stigmatising, person-first language throughout. Cover treatment options without implying one is universally correct, the realistic timeline for medication to take effect, and include crisis resources prominently rather than as a footnote. Structure it as: what the condition is in plain language, what it means day to day, the treatment or management plan, what the patient can do themselves, what to monitor, and — stated prominently — when to seek urgent care.

Medical Case Study Analysis
Analyse the following medical case for {educational_level}, treating it as a clinical reasoning exercise rather than a diagnostic request. Work through it in the order a clinician does: summarise the presentation in a single problem statement, identify the pertinent positives and negatives from history and examination, and build a differential diagnosis ordered by likelihood while separately flagging the must-not-miss diagnoses even where they are unlikely. For each candidate, state the features that support and refute it. Then propose investigations with the reasoning for each and what result would change the differential, followed by management principles. Make the reasoning explicit at every step, since that is the transferable skill. Note the cognitive biases this case invites — anchoring, premature closure, availability — and state clearly that this is educational analysis and not clinical advice for any real patient.
12-Week Wellness Plan for Sustainable Weight Management
Design a 12-week wellness plan for Sustainable Weight Management for someone at {starting_point} with {constraints}. Frame around sustainable habits and health markers rather than a target number, and avoid restrictive protocols that predict rebound. Screen explicitly for disordered eating history, where this content is inappropriate and referral is required. Phase it: weeks 1-4 establish baseline habits with deliberately small commitments, weeks 5-8 build, weeks 9-12 consolidate into something maintainable without the programme. For each phase give the specific actions, weekly progression, and the measurable checkpoint. Design for imperfection: the never-miss-twice rule, a minimum version for bad weeks, and how to resume after a break without treating it as failure. Include the screening questions that should be answered before starting and the red flags that mean seeing a clinician first. State clearly this is general wellness information, not medical advice, and is not suitable for anyone with a relevant diagnosed condition without professional guidance.
12-Week Wellness Plan for Building Strength
Design a 12-week wellness plan for Building Strength for someone at {starting_point} with {constraints}. Cover progressive overload, adequate protein intake, and recovery as a training variable rather than an afterthought. Emphasise technique before load, and realistic rates of progress so expectations do not drive injury.

For each phase give the specific actions, weekly progression, and the measurable checkpoint.

12-Week Wellness Plan for Increased Energy
Design a 12-week wellness plan for Increased Energy for someone at {starting_point} with {constraints}.

Then cover sleep, activity, nutrition timing and hydration. Phase it: weeks 1-4 establish baseline habits with deliberately small commitments, weeks 5-8 build, weeks 9-12 consolidate into something maintainable without the programme. For each phase give the specific actions, weekly progression, and the measurable checkpoint.
