## What is CatchUpRheum?

CatchUpRheum helps rheumatologists and other healthcare professionals stay up to date with recent rheumatology literature. The app searches PubMed and Europe PMC across a curated selection of rheumatology and general medical journals. Choose the conditions, study designs and journals that matter to you, then receive a personalized overview of new articles.

Explore research on rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vasculitis, osteoarthritis, gout, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and many other conditions. Open articles for a structured overview of the objective, methods, results and conclusion in English, Dutch or Spanish. Search the overview, save articles for later, hide articles you have reviewed, and choose daily or weekly notifications.

Summaries are based on information available in the article abstract. CatchUpRheum supports literature awareness and education; it does not replace reading the original publication or using clinical judgment.
