Post Description

hey all. just trying to get the word out about this app i made. It's called Clifton. it's helped me out a lot and so thinking it could help others too. let me know what you think and if you know anyone who might find it useful, please share!

it's free and open source (https://github.com/notwopr/clifton)

my mom has alzheimers and vascular dementia and i used to keep this incredibly complicated spreadsheet just to keep track of what clinical trials i already reviewed and which ones would actually fit our needs. it was honestly such a pain to maintain and update every few weeks.

i wanted a way to find trials where there was a low chance of a placebo, stuff that was actually nearby, and trials that didn't have super invasive diagnostic testing... reading through eligibility criteria on clinicaltrials.gov for hours just to find out a trial is a 4 hour drive away or has a 50% placebo rate is exhausting.

so i decided to just build my own thing.

hope it helps other people out there too.

it's free, but im hoping the AI searches dont get too out of control because i cant really afford too much. but if anyone knows how i can get google to sponsor this site PLEASE let me know (it uses gemini)
