Given the exponential growth in medical literature, finding relevant information sooner is critical. Researchers, with more content and less time to analyse, need systems that are smart and intelligent enough to integrate the scattered content, provide quicker discovery of information and tools for thorough analysis of content. Today, biomedical research faces several challenges when it comes to searching through enormous volumes of medical literature to find the most relevant information in the shortest time.

Data Based Challenges in Biomedical Research

The following are the key challenges faced by biomedical researchers when it comes to finding the information they need for their research.

• Shallow search that is based on the keywords in the query alone.
• Difficulty in identifying guidelines or clinical trials.
• No option to filter the results using multiple filters at the same time.
• No consistency in the number of search results for different queries.
• No provision for researchers working from different locations to collaborate on a project.
• No access to insights or analytics related to research domains.
