# Biomedical News Fact-Checker & Research Evidence Finder
|
2 |
|
3 |
+
This app helps you understand if the scientific claims in health or biomedical news articles are supported by real research.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## What does this app do?
|
6 |
|
7 |
+
- **Extracts key scientific claims** from a news article.
|
8 |
+
- **Finds the most relevant PubMed biomedical research papers** for each claim.
|
9 |
+
- **Checks which sentences in those papers support, contradict, or are neutral** to each claim (color-coded: green=support, red=contradict, gray=neutral).
|
10 |
+
- **Gives you a simple, plain-English summary** of the overall evidence for each claim.
|
11 |
|
12 |
+
## How do I use it?
|
13 |
|
14 |
+
1. **Paste the link to any health or biomedical news article** (for example, from Medical News Today or similar sites).
|
15 |
+
2. **Click the submit/run button.**
|
16 |
+
3. **Wait for the results** (this may take a minute, especially the first time you use the app).
|
17 |
+
4. For each main claim in the article, you’ll see:
|
18 |
+
- A short summary verdict in plain language.
|
19 |
+
- A list of color-coded evidence sentences from research papers.
|
20 |
+
- The titles of the most relevant PubMed articles.
|
21 |
|
22 |
+
## Who is this for?
|
23 |
+
|
24 |
+
- Curious readers, students, journalists, researchers, or anyone who wants to check if a news story’s science is backed up by real research.
|
25 |
+
|
26 |
+
## What is special about this app?
|
27 |
+
|
28 |
+
- **No account, no sign-up, no private info required.**
|
29 |
+
- **No paid or cloud AI services:** Everything runs here using open-source AI.
|
30 |
+
- **Designed for health/biomedical news, but can work on most science articles.**
|
