How PulseMS works

AI research summaries

Every 15 minutes we check PubMed for new studies about multiple sclerosis. An AI model turns each abstract into a three-sentence, plain-English summary, suggests tags, and labels the study's outcome as positive, neutral or negative. Each summary links to the original abstract.

AI summaries can be wrong or leave out important detail. They are not medical advice. Read the original study and talk to your MS team before making any decision about treatment.

Votes and the Medical Pulse

Anyone with an account can vote. Verified medical professionals' votes count 3×. When at least one verified professional upvotes a post, its Medical Pulse turns green; tap it to see which specialties backed it.

Adjusted score = (community ▲ − ▼) + 3 × (professional ▲ − ▼)
Trending score = adjusted score ÷ (hours since posted + 2)^1.5

Community moderation

At -3 or lower, a caution notice appears on the post.
At -5 or lower, the text is collapsed and the post leaves Trending and Doctor Approved.
At -10 or lower, the post is hidden and sent to our moderators.
A verified professional can flag a post as a severe medical inaccuracy, which hides it immediately for priority review.

The archive

After 24 months a post becomes read-only: its score is frozen, voting and comments close, and it leaves the feeds. It stays available at its own address and in the research archive search.
