Two doctors. Same patient. Same data. Different conclusions.
When decisions rely on personal experience instead of published evidence,
treatment varies unpredictably.
Many clinicians trust their own experience and judgment. If you can’t
support it with published data, it’s not evidence-based
— and carries the least weight.
“The GP who knows the patient” — this should be irrelevant if the
record is complete. If it’s relevant, ask: what information
is missing?
We are all subject to cognitive biases: overconfidence,
confirmation bias, anchoring,
satisficing. Awareness is the first step.
Structure is the solution.
Every piece of clinical data carries an evidence level (1–5).
Level 1 (systematic reviews, meta-analyses) = highest confidence.
Level 5 (expert opinion) = lowest — based on authority, not data.
Higher level → stronger evidence → more confidence in the recommendation.
You always know the strength behind a decision.
It shouldn’t require reading studies before every patient. But clinical
information must flow through an evidence-based pipeline —
structured, graded, and transparent.
Guidelines, studies, local traditions, expert opinions — all competing
for attention. Finding what applies to your specific patient
shouldn’t be hard.
HexMed structures information so you see where your patient fits,
what the evidence says about next steps, and at what confidence level.
When something deviates from standard, document it as if for a medical student —
criteria, alternatives considered, references included.
Controllable
Every data point links to its original source — guidelines,
studies, or meta-analyses. Nothing hidden. Verify anything in one click.
When evidence changes, anyone can propose updates through a structured
process reviewed against the scientific method and EBM criteria.
No single authority decides.
The information is external and verifiable. It can be tested,
challenged, and updated based on the best available knowledge.
