Learn More About How Scientific Research is used to Answer Your Health Queries

At Bing Health we understand that finding trustworthy and accurate health information can be challenging. While scientific research is constantly advancing with new findings and solutions, it’s often buried in academic journals and can be difficult to access or interpret. Most people don't have the time or resources to sift through complex research papers.

At Bing, we bring to you, responses from the latest and most credible scientific research. We leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to simplify research findings from credible research papers.

When can you expect to see responses from scientific research?

Questions that are specifically related to health research Ex: latest research on Parkinson's

Questions about new treatments or new diagnosis Ex: new treatments for Alzheimer's, new tests for early detection of dementia

You may not see research based answers for questions that are broad in nature Ex: What is Asthma?

How we select & rank papers

We’re committed to bringing you responses from vetted sources that are grounded in solid, peer-reviewed research. Whether you're looking for insights into a specific condition, or information on general wellness, we bring to you the best in scientific knowledge. We ensure sponsored and biased studies don’t influence the responses and ensure full transparency of sources & authorship.

Further, we rank research based on all the below aspects so that you get the most useful answers

• Credible Sources: Responses are taken from research that has undergone peer review and is published in respected journals so you can trust the findings.

• Transparency: We believe in full transparency. For every piece of research, you can see details about the source such as the journal it was published in, research paper title, the authors involved, how often it’s been cited in other studies, and the year of publication.

• Clear Understanding: We know that scientific papers can be complex. To understand the sources better, you can hover over the tags mentioned next to each source, to understand their meaning and relevance in research.

The commonly used tags are:

Widely cited research paper - A ‘widely cited’ paper refers to a paper that has been referenced at least 10 times by other papers. Widely cited papers are regarded as influential in the field, since they have been used to further work.  A caveat is that it may take several years after publication for a paper to be cited; therefore, a more recently published paper may be quite important and influential, but has not been available long enough to be widely cited. We use OpenCitations - Home for citation counts.

Randomized clinical trial & Meta-analysis - Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and metanalyses are considered the gold standards of research study designs because they are considered to most effectively reduce biases that could cause inaccurate or non-replicable study outcomes. 

High impact medical journal – Journals with high impact factors publish articles that are regarded as more widely cited, read, and impactful.  They are also regarded as more competitive, in that their rates of rejection are higher, so the papers that do get published are seen as very well vetted, reviewed, and thought to be important. We use Scimago Journal & Country Rank for journal impact factor.
