So, why would you need an app to access PubMed when you can pull up pubmed.gov on your browser? Because the app does what PubMed cannot do.

For those of you who have not heard of PubMed, it is the biggest database of research studies on this planet.

So, what is the problem with PubMed? When you search, let us say for 'schizophrenia', it spews out tons and tons of information that you cannot really make sense of. You then wipe the sweat off your brows, go to advanced search and look for, let us say, randomized controlled trials; it then spews out another ton of data with information from obscure journals and questionable studies that you really don't know if you can trust. And all this, if you can figure out how to use Advanced Search on PubMed!

We are not blaming Pubmed..it is what it is..just a database. It's just that we cannot use it as it is. Here comes our app. So what does it do?
1. It organizes studies by the level of evidence of the study. JARVIS, our natural language AI classifies studies into various types and also identifies the level of evidence directly. JARVIS can identify over 20 different study types including various types of observational studies, RCTs, meta-analyses, consensus guidelines, and so on.

2. JARVIS can make your searches and sorts far simpler. He can also pick out sample sizes of studies and can even identify cases and controls, outcome variables, therapeutic modalities, and follow-up periods of patients! We felt the need for JARVIS as most studies in PubMed are not properly classified.

3. More recent versions of the app can summarize abstracts and even entire search results. Translation into 110 languages is also available.

4. You can also find articles similar to an article using Natural Language processing algorithms

The full list of study types and entities recognized can be known when you test the app and at the time of purchasing a subscription.

PubMed does not hold journal impact factors and there are third-party applications that can link PubMed journals to impact factors, but still, there is no way to sort by impact factor of the journal. The app accomplishes that easily, and studies are sorted by the Journal Impact factor by default. Impact factors are losing their popularity, and we strongly suggest you use JARVIS and his Advanced Sort / Search functions for this purpose.

The app easily enables users to search for updates in a particular field or disease process over the last few days.

The app stores all saved data on the cloud. A common login should help in sharing files between users and in research collaboration. Transfer files easily from your mobile to other devices/desktop as well. Also, you can highlight and mark up the text before saving it.

Our app also makes what PubMed does a lot easier: you can sort by the type of study by the push of a button for example. Bookmarking is also a lot easier. You can also sort by free full-text articles to display only articles which are free.

What the app does not do?
It does not provide full articles from Journals that require a subscription. You would be crazy to expect that for the price of this app! There are still scores of free articles (in fact ~50% of full texts are free) on PubMed. In fact, for most clinicians and professionals, reading the abstract would provide the required information.

The in-app purchases cost $50 a year, with the first 3 days being free.. You can cancel this any time from your Apple ID menu in the Settings App. Subscription will be auto-renewed unless turned off before 24 hours of the next renewal date.
