The problem
Medical and life-science companies need to know what the published evidence says about their products and their competitors' products. Finding it means searching scholarly databases and trial registries by hand, judging which journals matter, and turning it into something a client can read.
What I did
I built a live evidence-intelligence platform for ProofStack, a health-tech company:
- Automated searches across scholarly publications and ClinicalTrials.gov.
- Every result ranked by journal quality (SJR) and scored by whether it's the company's own work.
- Citation analytics and charts.
- An admin team curates the results and publishes dashboards to each client organisation, with export to Google Sheets and an API.
The result
- Live and in use by ProofStack's team, built from first commit to production in about four months (February to June 2026).
“If you need your data tidy, your automations robust, your chaos logical, and your aching mind soothed, Mark's your chap. We engaged Mark to build us a bespoke data science tool that overcame a number of technical hurdles in the scientific literature; Mark was able to untangle these in short order and build stable systems that returned solid results our clients could rely upon in short order. Throughout the project he was flexible, innovative, and versatile, adding value to every session he joined. Highly recommended!”
