Clinical Evaluation Report software
The literature review is the slowest, most scrutinised part of a CER. AutoSearch produces a PRISMA-grade, DOI-verified literature review for your Clinical Evaluation Report — self-service, at a fraction of what CER writing services charge.
Built in Switzerland · Crossref-verified citations · 0 fabricated DOIs in our public benchmark
Most CER tools are either writing services (you pay for consultant hours) or enterprise screening suites priced for large teams. AutoSearch is software you run yourself: it automates the literature search, screening and PRISMA documentation that a Clinical Evaluation Report needs — so you keep the regulatory authoring in-house and pay per use, not per consultant day.
The literature review, done in an afternoon
AutoSearch searches OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, Semantic Scholar and ClinicalTrials.gov in parallel, scores and screens each result with a recorded decision, and outputs a PRISMA 2020 flow, an evidence matrix, inline citations, BibTeX and a screening log (CSV) — exactly the literature-review artifacts a CER under MDR / MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 requires.
CER software vs CER writing services
Writing services (Emergo, CiteMed, NAMSA) bill consultant time and own the process; you wait and pay per report. AutoSearch puts the same systematic, reproducible literature review in your hands for a monthly subscription or one-time credits — typically a fraction of a single outsourced CER literature search, with no lock-in.
Audit-ready and verifiable
Every DOI is checked live against Crossref — our public benchmark reports 0 fabricated references. Reviewers and Notified Bodies see real, resolvable sources with a documented search protocol they can reproduce.
| CER literature-review element | AutoSearch output |
|---|---|
| Search protocol (PICO, databases, dates) | Documented from the structured objective; reproducible. |
| Multi-database search | OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov in parallel. |
| Screening with reasons | Recorded keep/discard decision per record; exportable CSV log. |
| PRISMA 2020 flow | Generated automatically with counts at each stage. |
| Evidence appraisal | Typed evidence matrix (claim, source, DOI, year, confidence). |
| Verifiable references | Every DOI live-checked against Crossref; 0 fabricated in benchmark. |
Frequently asked questions
Does AutoSearch write the whole CER?
AutoSearch automates the literature-review portion of the CER — search, screening, PRISMA flow, evidence matrix and verified references. You assemble and sign the CER with your regulatory judgement; AutoSearch removes the weeks of manual literature work.
How is it cheaper than a CER service?
Services bill consultant hours per report. AutoSearch is software from CHF 29/month (or one-time credits); a standard review costs about 8 credits, so a literature review costs a fraction of an outsourced one — with no per-report sales cycle.
Is the output MDR / MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 aligned?
Yes — documented protocol, multi-database search, recorded screening, PRISMA 2020 flow and an evidence matrix. The regulatory responsibility stays with you.
Can I reuse it for PMS and PMCF?
Yes. The search protocol is stored and re-runnable on your PMS/PMCF cadence, returning only what is new.
Are the citations real?
Yes. Every DOI is verified live against Crossref; our benchmark reports 0 fabricated DOIs across hundreds of references.
