Typical dose of dexamethasone is 6 mg not 4 mg. And only in severe cases needing oxygen, not early.
Thanks for the correction I actually typed 6 every 24 but found it confusing and resulted in error, fixed now

I’m not in this space, so just out of curiosity what does this cover that Up To Date doesn’t? And/or What are some examples of questions doctors might ask? Thanks!
We get this one a bunch; Up to Date is pretty awesome. Public data + our data shows only ~1/2 of clinical questions can be answered by Up to Date (or references like them). Those online compendia employ a small team of credible authors + have massive scale, so they focus on the mainstream questions. Our custom solution is designed around the long tail of emerging or complex questions. For example, if you want to know…
For anyone curious , we actually did this question:

I have hyperhidrosis (a fancy term for excessive sweating). When I was a teenager (and before all answers to everything were online), I went to multiple docs and no one was aware of a particular prescription that, once I found out about it, completely "cured" the issue (Drysol). Looking back, it was obvious the doctors just weren't aware of a valid treatment for the issue. It'd be great if a service like this helps d…
Isn't that what Up To Date is?

I would also be careful about how you use the term atypical, in fact most patients with COVID are typical and improve with the standard treatment. :)

No shade, we love up to date; we just see ourselves as a complement.

I hope your project succeeds.
When I was a medical student and resident on rounds, it was really stressful trying to do literature searches on pubmed and up-to-date (esp while taking care of active patient problems!) I often didn't have the time or bandwidth to comb through the papers/lists of care guidelines, and the abstracts often didn't give the clear story (or the relevant numbers!)
If I had had access to InpharmD, I could've 1) looked like a rockstar to my team, and 2) actually learned and understood the info I needed. :)
10 days ago someone posted a similar idea and how he failed. "I wasted $40k on a fantastic startup idea" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25825917 I hope your project succeeds.
He went after the same problem, yes, but with a traditional SAAS approach.
We feel strongly that the only way to make this work is to have humans on our back end, thoughtfully automated with tech (vs the other way around).
Wow! This is exactly the type of service that academic institutions could benefit from.
