Why did we build 'Read by QxMD'?

Health care professionals need to stay up to date on the latest medical research and topic reviews to provide optimal care. Unfortunately, the process of content discovery is broken with research artificially compartmentalized by publishers and hidden behind countless institutional pay walls.

At QxMD, we believe that knowledge translation– the process by which new knowledge is incorporated into clinical practice – is an important and unsolved challenge for our health care system. We hope that ‘Read by QxMD’ will be a part of the solution.

Reviews

Solid app
foolzor123

Integrates extremely well with institutional access. Much better UI/ease of use over ClinicalKey app which is what I was using previously.


3/5 Stars because...
RoadWarrior2004

Great idea, but many journals are missing...journals of pharmacy for example that have many useful studies. The impact factor is certainly not the same as NEJM; however, much information about therapy can be gleaned including many good review articles. Furthermore, I think having filters for types of articles/studies, RCT, retrospective, review, etc is very useful to eliminate alert/information fatigue. Awesome idea, needs more work, many thanks! Will update review if these features are introduced.


Review

This app is my portable library. I come from the age of Index Medicus when articles were retrieved manually. I don’t know how I could keep up without this type of service.


Love the learning, great app and 2 requests
jcsykes

The overall access to content is awesome. The notifications and areas of interest are great tools to keep up to date on the latest research. I have 1 reasonable request and 1 pipe dream. Could the articles be searchable for your keyword so that it is highlighted and indexed? Could technical words be linked to a definition?


Trouble gaining access
Telechubbi

I have been trying to set up an account to no avail. I input all the requested data and once I reach the end of the form, create and account quickly flashes at the bottom of the screen and then disappears. Also, Social Work is an option the specialties for Social Work aren’t broad enough. I hope you take my concerns serious enough to discuss amongst your team. Good Day.


Happy with this app, slight tweak suggestions
HappyGrdStudent

I use this app all the time if I need to find an abstract or article; it’s a lot easier than pulling up Pubmed on my phone or iPad. The only area for improvement I can see is support of Dark Mode, both for the app overall and for the screen that comes up when you save a PDF. Also for the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that my badge count stays at 1 even if I’ve looked over all of the ‘new’ abstracts in my feed and subscriptions.

Missing a feature found in android version !
PDF expert lover

Why the option of (copy DOI) is not found in IOS version at time it is found in android version ?! It is an important option.


Great app except of most recent update
Ripped off also

Great app here and I use it frequently. Unfortunately the most recent update didn’t do much to change the app expect now you have to login EVERY TIME you use the app. Please fix this. It makes checking out articles on the fly between patients extremely tedious.
