Show HN: I Built AskMedically – Get Research-Backed Answers to Medical Queries

I’ve built AskMedically – an AI-powered assistant that answers health and medical questions using real research papers from trusted medical sources like PubMed, Cochrane, etc.

Whether you’re a healthcare enthusiast, patient, student, or professional – AskMedically helps you explore trusted medical knowledge without needing a medical degree or slogging through dozens of PDFs.

Examples:

• “Does intermittent fasting improve insulin sensitivity?”

• “What are the benefits of creatine for brain health?”

• “Is ashwagandha safe to take long-term?”

• “How does ADHD present in adult women?”

• “Are cold plunges actually effective or just hype?”

It gives you:

• A clear, summarized answer

• Citations to real, peer-reviewed studies

• A link to read more if you want to dive deeper

Why I built it: We’re drowning in health advice on social media and wellness blogs, and it’s hard to know what’s evidence-based. I wanted to create a calm, reliable place where anyone curious about health could explore answers grounded in science.

It’s free to use, mobile-friendly, and optimized for both quick questions and deep dives.
