Stay current in 5 minutes a week β€” without the noise. Clinidence reads the week's new medical literature for your specialty and turns it into a short stack of cards you can swipe through over coffee. Every card leads with the one thing that matters: what the study found, how big the effect is, and whether it should change your practice. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€’ Verified to source. Each card's key quote is checked, word-for-word, against the original PubMed abstract β€” so you're never reading an AI's paraphrase. If it can't be verified, we don't show it. β€’ Study type, up front. Every card is labeled by design β€” RCT, meta-analysis, systematic review, guideline, or observational β€” so you know how much weight to give it at a glance. β€’ The number that matters. When the effect size and confidence interval are in the source, we surface them (e.g. HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.61–0.89) β€” pulled straight from the verified text, never invented. β€’ A weekly briefing. Open the app to a one-line read on the week β€” "8 papers, 2 practice-changing" β€” then dive into the cards. β€’ Honest about AI. Impact and evidence grades are clearly labeled as AI assessment, grounded in study design β€” not dressed up as peer review. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your specialty (22 supported). 2. Each week, get a curated digest of the newest, highest-quality papers. 3. Swipe up to save, down to skip, tap for the full breakdown β€” PICO, limitations, and a one-tap link to PubMed. 4. Save cards to a personal library and share a clean, citable card with a colleague. BUILT FOR PRACTICING CLINICIANS No paywalls on the science. No engagement-bait. Just the evidence, structured the way you actually appraise it. Clinidence is an informational tool for licensed healthcare professionals. It summarizes published research and is not medical advice; always use your clinical judgment and consult primary sources.

ScrollMD turns the latest medical research into a fast, swipeable feed. Instead of digging through databases, you scroll through clean "study cards" β€” one paper per screen β€” and absorb the essentials in seconds. Each card distills an open-access paper into: β€’ TL;DR β€” the study in one line β€’ Key Finding β€” the headline result, with the number that matters β€’ Why It Matters β€” the clinical takeaway β€’ Caveat β€” the limitation to keep in mind Tap through to the original paper (DOI) any time you want the full text. WHY SCROLLMD β€’ Built for clinicians first β€” cardiology, oncology, neurology, infectious disease, endocrine, pulmonary, and a "For You" mix. β€’ Search your own topic β€” type what you're working on and get the most relevant recent papers. β€’ Reputable, open-access sources β€” content is indexed from PubMed / Europe PMC and reputable journals. We link to the original; we never paywall or republish copyrighted PDFs. β€’ Save, cite, and share the studies you want to come back to. β€’ Ask for an AI summary on any card when you want a quick plain-language recap. FOR CLINICIANS, STUDENTS, AND THE CURIOUS Whether you're a physician staying current between patients, a resident or student building your foundation, or simply someone who wants to follow real research instead of headlines, ScrollMD makes keeping up feel effortless. IMPORTANT ScrollMD provides educational summaries of published research. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Summaries are generated automatically and may omit nuance β€” always consult the original paper and use your professional judgment. Nothing in ScrollMD should be used to make clinical decisions for an individual patient. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your saves and join the discussion, or continue as a guest.
