A patient gets a note each morning about new trials and drug news that match his illness. He takes what it finds to his doctor.

What it does by itselfIt only reads and reports. It does not contact anyone or sign you up for anything.

How it works

A man with stage 4 lung cancer told his bot about his illness. He shared his cancer type, past treatments, test results, and how far he can travel. Every morning, the bot checks lists of clinical trials, drug approvals, medical meetings, and company news. It compares them with the day before. It sends him a note only when something is new and has a source. It found a trial for a new drug that added a hospital about 1 hour from his home. It also found a question about who can join the trial, for him to ask his doctor.

How to set it up

  1. Tell the bot about your illness, past treatments, test results, and how far you can travel.
  2. Ask it to check trial lists, drug approvals, and medical news every morning.
  3. Ask it to compare with the day before and tell you only about new things with a source.
  4. Read each source yourself. Take good options to your doctor.
  5. Keep a list of the options you follow.
Words from the source you can copy

1. Teach it your diagnosis (type, stage, treatments, biomarkers, travel limit). 2. "checks clinical trial listings, FDA decisions, conference abstracts and company news, compares it all against the day before, and only pings me when something new and sourced shows up." 3. Review each source yourself and take it to your doctor; log options in a tracker.

A morning note when something new appears on a topic

Each morning, the bot checks a few websites about one topic you care about. It tells you only about new items, each with a link.

You need: Websites (no app needed)

Prompt to paste to your bot

Every morning at 8:00 AM, check [these websites] for new items about [my topic]. Compare them with what you found yesterday. Tell me only about new items, each with a link to the source. If nothing is new, send one line that says so. Do not contact anyone or sign me up for anything.

What people report

It found a new trial site about 1 hour from his home. He now follows more than 25 options (his own report).

Why we rate it 8 out of 10

It can matter a lot to patients and to the people who care for them. The bot only reads, and the doctor makes the decisions. The evidence comes from one person.

How sure we are

Some evidence One detailed first-hand report, or a company story with some outside support.

Two posts from the same patient. We did not check the trial or the new site ourselves.
