What It Does

• Multi-organization guideline search: Queries guidelines from AHA/ACC (cardiology), IDSA (infectious disease), ADA (diabetes), ACOG (obstetrics), ATS/IDSA (pulmonology), USPSTF (preventive), and other specialty societies through a unified interface
• Evidence grade surfacing: Displays the recommendation class (I, IIa, IIb, III) and level of evidence (A, B-R, B-NR, C-LD, C-EO) alongside each recommendation so clinicians can assess the strength of the underlying data
• Scenario-based retrieval: Accepts a clinical scenario description (e.g., "new diagnosis of HFrEF, EF 30%, NYHA Class III") and returns the relevant guideline recommendations without requiring the user to know which document to search
• Guideline comparison: When multiple societies have published guidelines on the same topic (e.g., hypertension management per AHA/ACC vs. ESC), highlights where recommendations converge and diverge
• Update tracking: Flags when guidelines have been superseded by newer publications or when focused updates have modified prior recommendations
