Med students, I need your feedback! 🩺📚

I’m working on an AI-powered study tool designed specifically for pre-graduate medical students, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Studying medicine is exhausting as we all know—for example, while studying surgery today, I came across a slide on esophageal carcinoma risk factors. There were so many risk factors and related diseases that I didn’t fully understand, especially how they connect to each other.

This tool aims to make studying easier by helping you understand all the terms and their relationships. For example, if Plummer-Vinson syndrome is listed as a risk factor for esophageal cancer, the tool will explain what Plummer-Vinson syndrome is and how it increases the risk of esophageal cancer—breaking down complex connections in a clear, structured way.

✅ Upload PPTX/PDFs – AI generates detailed explanations for each slide, linking concepts and breaking things down.
✅ Ask about specific terms – The AI provides instant answers.
✅ Auto-save flashcards – Every AI-generated explanation is saved as a flashcard next to the slide for easy revision.
✅ Real case simulations – Practice with clinical cases from a library, test your diagnosis, and get feedback if you’re wrong.
✅ All uploaded documents are saved – Along with their generated flashcards, so you can easily revisit them later.

💡 Would you actually pay for something like this?
🤔 What other features would make this a must-have for you?

Your feedback would be super valuable—let me know what you think! 🙌

What you allude to would potentially be very useful for medical students and other high-volume courses.

The ability to give an AI tool an entire PDF or powerpoint presentation and have it generate flashcards for that specific lecture would be very useful because a lot of people at present will be doing this manually and it is very time consuming.

Including an individual lecture slide or PDF page or paragraph in the explanation or source section of a flashcard (presented after the answer has been shown) would potentially be very useful.

As you add each lecture or PDF or file it could generate an ever expanding flashcard deck that would serve as a student's main set of notes and potentially be very powerful whilst reducing the time required to effectively study.

The ability to cut and paste or screen grab content to make flash cards from would also be very very useful.

You may need a spell checker function that is well versed in medical terminology because a lot of standard spell checking functions out there do not like medical or scientific terminology at all.
