The History of PaperDoc.

The history of the project

PaperDoc is an application offering summaries of scientific articles using artificial intelligence.

“Being a doctor myself, the idea for PaperDoc was born during my internship. I realized that although reading scientific articles is essential to the training and daily practice of health professionals, it is largely neglected. The explanation is simple: thousands of articles are published every month in hundreds of journals. It then becomes difficult and time-consuming to select the most relevant articles to read to update your knowledge. It's not uncommon to hear colleagues say they don't have time to read articles.

The idea of ​​an application which selects articles by theme for the reader to absolutely know, which summarizes them in a clear and pictorial way, which encourages health professionals to read as many articles as possible through a points system and rewards, and provides a system for evaluating the methodological quality of an article and the information gain provided for the reader then came to me.

The goal is to offer health professionals a simple tool allowing them to always be up to date, in a fun and motivating way and without wasting time. By meeting the initial and continuing training requirements of caregivers, the application falls within the ethical and legal framework of Continuing Professional Development to which healthcare professionals must submit.

PaperDoc also allows professionals in the liberal sector, who are often more isolated, to keep their level of knowledge up to date. The idea of ​​targeting advertisements based on readings so that users are always aware of new devices or drugs placed on the market in relation to their practices has emerged. As a doctor, I have no doubt that PaperDoc meets a growing demand from healthcare professionals.

At the same time, I completed a year of Master 2 in Mathematics, Modeling and Learning at the University of Paris, during which I learned machine-learning methods and developed therapeutic decision-making tools in emergency situations. 'emergency.

The fabulous potential offered by these methods seemed obvious to me: artificial intelligence must be put at the service of health. And urgently! We are far behind other sectors such as finance or ecology. It is therefore natural that PaperDoc wishes to develop innovative solutions around these technologies.

PaperDoc was born.
