Stop wasting months on research ideas that have already been done

ResearchChecker is the first tool purpose-built to evaluate whether a medical or biomedical research question is novel, feasible, and worth pursuing in seconds, not weeks.

The problem we solve
Every year, thousands of researchers spend weeks or months developing a protocol, searching literature, and writing proposals, only to discover that an identical systematic review was published last month or a PROSPERO registration already exists. This is a massive, silent waste of academic resources.
How we change the game
What used to take a researcher 2-3 weeks of manual literature searching, database screening, and PROSPERO checking now takes 15 seconds. ResearchChecker doesn't just search. It evaluates, cross-references, identifies gaps, and tells you exactly where the opportunities are.
Real databases, real evidence
Every evaluation queries PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, PROSPERO, Europe PMC, and the Cochrane Library in real-time. The "Similar Literature" section shows actual papers with clickable DOI links, not AI-generated references. The evidence counts are real numbers from live database queries.
Private and secure
Your research ideas are never stored, logged, or shared with any third party. All queries are processed in real-time and immediately discarded. We have no accounts, no databases, and no way to recover your search history, by design.

Who is this for?

Medical, biology, and biomedical students exploring thesis topics who need to know if their idea has already been studied to death. Residents planning their first systematic review under time pressure. Biology and biomedical researchers conducting literature-driven research across any life science discipline. Faculty members assessing whether a proposed study fills a genuine gap before committing lab resources. Research coordinators screening incoming proposals for institutional review.

If you've ever spent weeks developing a protocol only to discover that three identical reviews were published last year, or worse, found a PROSPERO registration for the exact same study two weeks before your planned submission, ResearchChecker exists to prevent that from ever happening again.

What makes this different from just searching PubMed?

PubMed tells you what exists. ResearchChecker tells you what it means. It identifies population gaps (studied in adults but not pediatrics), methodological gaps (only retrospective data, no RCTs), temporal gaps (last major study is 5+ years old), and comparator gaps (head-to-head comparisons missing). It scans for active PROSPERO registrations that signal upcoming competition. It identifies the dominant research groups in the space so you know who you're competing against. And it suggests specific, concrete pivots that would make your idea more publishable.
