Paxis explains your diagnosis and treatment in plain English, using published research and the guidelines your care team follows. Everything it tells you comes with a source.
Put in your patient's details and Paxis finds the studies that fit. Their record keeps building between visits, so you can see what has happened since you last met, and new research that matches them turns up in your inbox.

What an answer looks like
“My tumour came back and they mentioned pembrolizumab. Is that instead of chemo?”
Chemo attacks the tumour. Pembrolizumab works on your immune system, helping it find cancer cells it had been missing.
It can be given on its own or with chemo. Ask your oncologist which one they have in mind for you.
Sources shown · 3 studies · FDA prescribing information
R/M HNSCCCPS 100post-platinum
Monotherapy against pembrolizumab plus platinum, stratified by CPS. Every response and survival figure is shown against the trial it came from. Eligibility is checked against what this patient has already had.
6 studies matched · 2 open trials · any number we can't trace to a passage is removed before you see it
What you can do
What you can do from day one
You don't need to know the terminology. None of this replaces your oncologist.
Ask anything
Use whatever words you have.
More
You don't need to know the medical words. If Paxis can't tell what you mean, it asks you.
Make sense of a report
Paste it in and get it explained.
More
Paxis goes through a scan or pathology result line by line and tells you what each part means.
Understand your medication
What it's for and what to expect.
More
What the drug does, why your team picked it, and what other people say it was like to take.
Keep track of how you feel
Note things down as they happen.
More
Paxis puts your notes next to your medicines. After a few weeks you can usually see a pattern.
Go in prepared
Turn worries into questions.
More
Paxis takes everything you've been wondering about and makes a short list for your next appointment.
Send a question to your doctor
Some things need your oncologist.
More
Paxis sends your question over along with everything your doctor needs to answer it.
What you get
Built around the patient
This half of the product has been in development the longest.
A record that stays
Diagnosis, biomarkers and treatment history stay on file, so you are never asking about a patient from scratch.
Studies that match, with the evidence pulled out
Paxis checks each study against this patient and tells you which criteria it could confirm and which it couldn't.
Trial matching
Paxis reads the eligibility criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov and checks them against the profile you have stored.
Treatment comparison
Arms side by side, with a citation on every claim. Any number we can't trace back to a passage gets removed.
Alerts that keep running
Leave a case open and Paxis keeps reading. You hear about anything new that matches that patient.
A question inbox worth opening
Only the questions that genuinely need you get through, and you can see the whole conversation behind them.
What happens in between
How a question becomes an answer
Four steps between your question and your answer.
We read the research
Papers get broken up carefully, so no finding ends up separated from the people it applied to.
We match your words to theirs
You might say "no longer surgical". A paper says unresectable. Paxis knows they are the same thing.
We narrow it down to you
Your situation gets broken into its parts and searched piece by piece. Anything that does not fit you is dropped.
We write it up
The answer comes back in language you can use, with the sources attached.
What happens in between
What Paxis does with a case
Four steps between the case you describe and the studies that come back.
Papers are read in sections
Eligibility, methods and subgroups are kept together, so a result never gets cut off from the population it came from.
Your phrasing is mapped to theirs
You write "no longer surgical". The paper says unresectable. Paxis treats them as the same term.
The case is searched axis by axis
Site, histology, stage, biomarkers, prior lines and comorbidity are searched separately, then scored together.
Claims are checked back to the text
Each figure is tied to the passage it came from. Anything we can't trace gets dropped before you see the answer.
Where we draw the line
What Paxis won't do
These limits live in the code. They aren't instructions we gave a model and hoped it followed.
It won't diagnose you or tell you what to do
Paxis won't tell you what's wrong, which treatment to have, or how long you have. Those go to a clinician.
Safety checks come first
Every message is checked before anything is written. Emergencies match fixed rules, because a rule can't be talked out of firing.
You can check every answer
The studies behind an answer are right there. If we can't show you where something came from, we don't say it.
Your information is yours
You choose what to share. You can delete all of it whenever you want, in one go.
Where we draw the line
What Paxis won't do
These limits live in the code. They aren't instructions we gave a model and hoped it followed.
It won't make the call
Paxis finds evidence and lays it out. Choosing the treatment stays with you.
Grounded or removed
Every figure is tied to the passage it came from. Anything we can't trace gets stripped before it reaches you.
Eligibility is shown, never assumed
Paxis tells you which criteria it could confirm against the record and which it couldn't check.
A failed search stays a failed search
If retrieval comes back empty, Paxis says so. It won't fall through to writing an answer from nothing.
We're opening soon
Join the pilot
Leave your email and we'll write to you when there's a place. Telling us about your diagnosis is up to you, but it helps us decide what to build first.
Leave your email and we'll be in touch about the pilot. We're starting with three to five practices and around a hundred patients, over ninety days.
Paxis is free while we're in beta. At some point it will become a paid subscription, and we'll give you plenty of warning before that happens.
We're Patient Axis. Paxis for short.
We'll only email you about Paxis. Anything you write here is kept separately from any clinical record. Read our privacy policy and terms.
