Summary

Hi HN,I’ve built AskMedically – an AI-powered assistant that answers health and medical questions using real research papers from trusted medical sources like PubMed, Cochrane, etc.Whether you’re a healthcare enthusiast, patient, student, or professional – AskMedically helps you explore trusted medical knowledge without needing a medical degree or slogging through dozens of PDFs.Examples:• “Does intermittent fasting improve insulin sensitivity?”• “What are the benefits of creatine for brain health?”• “Is ashwagandha safe to take long-term?”• “How does ADHD present in adult women?”• “Are cold plunges actually effective or just hype?”It gives you:• A clear, summarized answer• Citations to real, peer-reviewed studies• A link to read more if you want to dive deeperWhy I built it: We’re drowning in health advice on social media and wellness blogs, and it’s hard to know what’s evidence-based. I wanted to create a calm, reliable place where anyone curious about health could explore answers grounded in science.It’s free to use, mobile-friendly, and optimized for both quick questions and deep dives.Try it out: https://www.askmedically.comWould love to hear what you think – especially what features or questions you’d like it to handle better.
