About this service
Never miss a key publication
Hundreds of medical publications appear every month in most therapeutic areas. Missing a key study means a competitive blind spot — but nobody has time to read everything.
We run systematic literature surveillance tailored to your product, therapeutic area, and strategic questions. Automated searches are combined with expert curation to deliver structured weekly or monthly digests that highlight what matters.
AI handles the search automation and initial screening — while medical experts assess clinical relevance and strategic impact.

Frequently asked
Common questions
What databases do you monitor?
PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and major congress abstract databases including ASCO, ESMO, ESC, EULAR, and ADA.
How often do you deliver reports?
Weekly is standard for active therapeutic areas. Monthly for maintenance monitoring. Real-time alerts for critical publications.
Can you monitor competitors?
Yes. We track competitor publications, pipeline updates, and guideline changes as part of the monitoring scope.
What if I need a one-time search?
We also run one-time systematic literature reviews — for evidence dossiers, publication planning, or competitive landscape analysis.
How do you handle false positives?
AI performs initial screening, but medical experts review all flagged publications for clinical relevance before inclusion in your digest.
