Literature Review
Overview

For busy healthcare providers, time spent searching the literature is time taken away from patients. Literature Review uses AI to extract outcome data from cancer studies and aggregate it into one searchable resource. A clinician can select a diagnosis to see open outcome data straight away, look up a specific drug combination, or pull together the papers tied to a particular outcome. We built the platform to make a slow, manual knowledge search fast and dependable.

The challenge

Making the literature searchable in seconds

Cancer research is vast, fragmented and written for specialists, and the outcome data clinicians need is buried across countless studies. The task was to extract that data accurately and present it clearly, so a provider could move from a diagnosis to relevant outcomes without wading through papers by hand. Given the medical context, accuracy and clear, faithful presentation of the source data mattered above all.

Our approach

Research first, then build

We worked closely on how clinicians actually search, framing the interface around the questions they ask: a diagnosis, a drug combination, an outcome. Statistical results were extracted from multiple scientific studies and structured into a remote PostgreSQL database, with an algorithm to highlight conditions and interventions. The platform is built on Django and the Django REST Framework with a clean JavaScript and data-table front end, served through Nginx on AWS cloud infrastructure for reliable performance.

Inside the product
