Major Highlights of the Week

Existential Threat
The deep consult feature is causing anxiety among healthcare professionals who fear being replaced by AI, questioning the future value of their extensive education and experience. This concern is exacerbated by the app's ability to diagnose quickly, potentially reducing the need for highly trained professionals.
The deep consult feature makes me feel like I'm being replaced by computers, questioning the worth of my decade-long education.
Server Instability
Frequent server crashes and high traffic errors are significantly hindering the app's usability, limiting users to only a few queries before encountering issues. This technical instability renders the app's powerful features largely ineffective.
I can only ask 1-3 questions before the servers crash due to high traffic, making the app almost useless.
NPI Restriction
The requirement for an NPI number is excluding qualified healthcare professionals like veterinarians and nurses who lack this identifier, preventing them from accessing the app. This limitation is frustrating for users who have valid credentials but are unable to register.
As a veterinarian, I can't access the app because I don't have an NPI number, even though I have valid credentials.
Outdated Information
The app provides outdated and potentially harmful medical recommendations, such as graded exercise therapy for ME/CFS, which has been discredited by leading health organizations. This misinformation poses a risk to patient safety and undermines trust in the app.
OpenEvidence recommends outdated therapies like graded exercise for ME/CFS, which can harm patients.
Credential Verification Issues
Users face repeated requests to verify their credentials, which is both time-consuming and frustrating, especially when the app fails to recognize valid identifiers. This verification process disrupts the user experience and access to the app's resources.
I have to re-verify my credentials multiple times a week, which is annoying and disrupts my use of the app.
In-Conversation Ads
The presence of in-conversation ads detracts from the app's credibility and user experience, making it difficult for users to trust the information provided. These ads create a perception of bias and commercial influence in medical recommendations.
In-conversation ads make it hard to trust the app's unbiased medical advice.
