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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

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
