Introduction: Low health literacy limits patient understanding of pharmaceutical leaflets. Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video leaflets offer an inclusive solution, but the linguistic quality of the source texts plays a critical role in ensuring clarity, fluency, and accessibility. This study aimed to assess the relationship between lexical diversity in pharmaceutical leaflets and the effectiveness of AI-generated inclusive video leaflets. Methodology: A case study was conducted using pharmaceutical leaflets, which were analyzed for lexical richness through the Type-Token Ratio (TTR). These texts served as input for AI systems that generated video leaflets. The outputs were evaluated using natural language processing metrics and expert reviews to assess clarity, coherence, and inclusivity. Results: Higher TTR in pharmaceutical leaflets was associated with AI-generated videos showing improved clarity, coherence, and fluency. Richer vocabulary reduced semantic errors and enhanced inclusivity, especially for patients with low health literacy. Conclusions: Lexical richness measured by TTR directly improves the quality of AI-generated video leaflets, supporting patient understanding, regulatory compliance, and scalable digital health solutions. These findings highlight the importance of investing in high-quality written materials to maximize the impact of inclusive AI applications in healthcare.
