Literature reviews are a fundamental cornerstone of evidence-based research. The challenge with them is that they are difficult, time consuming, and error-prone. DistillerSR automates the management of literature collection, triage, and assessment using AI and intelligent workflows. The cloud-based platform securely produces transparent, audit-ready, and compliant literature reviews faster and more accurately than traditional error-prone manual methods, which primarily use spreadsheets. As a result, healthcare researchers can make more informed and time-sensitive critical health policies, clinical practice guidelines, and regulatory submissions.
