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.


Seamless 1-tap access available hundreds of universities

Terrible updates to the app. Doesn't refresh, doesn't allow to choose topics, doesn't allow to choose journals to follow either, and hangs frequently too. Previous versions were so much better. I'd request the developer to please look into the matter. Extremely disappointing for long term users like me.

app is very good for medical teams seeking evidence. i would put 5/5 if one killer feature is implemented in a future release: as with many generic newsfeed readers, the user scrolls many records and only either clicks or stars the ones interested. In this app there is no way firstly to filter read/unread and secondly please add a very simple option in settings to mark as READ when we scroll through the list so we know which papers we have reviewed already.

Sad to say that I still can't get it to work. Used to be a lovely app. I try to uninstall and reinstall every few weeks or so and it just has a spinning icon and 'refreshing' but never opens. If it works it is literally my favorite way to find and read papers

From my impressions on the first day of use, this seems to be a very useful app. Tools to make reading the literature more readily accessible, particularly on the go (mobile), are likely to become increasingly helpful to people. Of course, it will be important for this app to retain a real sense of being unbiased in provision of information, since users will be critical thinkers searching for evidence to examine and consider.

Nice initiative. Is there a provision to summarise and submit the brief of an article, which is not listed in the app. Also my institute name is not enlisted. There should be an option for mentioning new institutions names

Previous versions were amazing! Unfortunately, the app seems stuck and won't refresh for about a month. Same on the website. Reinstalled the app, but now won't open. Reached out, provided a work around which didn't really work. Please make QxMD great again and I'll update the review!
