AI research tools for health and life sciences

Start with information tasks: collecting literature, extracting study methods, comparing findings or building research notes with sources. Distinguish patient records, public papers and research data, and check required services and runtimes. Verify summaries against original documents. Search results and generated content should not directly determine diagnosis, prescriptions or treatment.

Prepare, choose and finish the task

1. Define the research question, inclusion scope, date range and publication types. Start with public or authorized material where possible.
2. Check whether the resource needs database access, an API or a client. Select data permitted by its license and institutional rules.
3. Request sources, study populations, methods and limitations for each item. Sample citations and confirm that summaries accurately reflect the original studies.

A task you can try

Using only the five attached public papers, create a comparison table covering study population, sample size, design, main findings and author-reported limitations. Cite the original source for each row. Mark absent fields as “not reported” and do not add clinical recommendations.

Check the output

• Citations refer to real publications, with study populations, dates and conclusion scope kept distinct.
• Unreported data is marked, and associations are not presented as causal findings.
• Restricted material is handled within its permissions, and relevant professionals check work involving specialist judgment.
