PMCF literature review
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up means running the same literature search on a fixed cadence — forever. AutoSearch stores your search protocol once and re-runs it each cycle, so every PMCF update is a delta, not a rebuild.
Built in Switzerland · Crossref-verified citations · 0 fabricated DOIs in our public benchmark
Under EU MDR, PMCF literature review is a recurring obligation: the same systematic search, repeated every 6 or 12 months, documented each time. Doing that manually means re-paying for the same work on every cycle. AutoSearch turns it into a repeatable, automated pipeline — define the search once, re-execute it on schedule, and review only what changed.
Define once, re-run every cycle
AutoSearch stores the exact search protocol — databases, query, inclusion/exclusion logic. On your PMCF cadence you re-execute it with one action and get a fresh PRISMA 2020 flow, an updated evidence matrix and a screening log — same method, new evidence, full audit trail.
Verified evidence, every time
Each cycle, every DOI is checked live against Crossref — our public benchmark reports 0 fabricated references. Your PMCF reports rest on real, resolvable sources, consistently.
Built for PMS and the whole post-market loop
The same engine supports post-market surveillance (PMS), PSUR literature inputs and SOTA updates. One reproducible protocol feeds your entire post-market clinical evidence cycle across MDR / IVDR.
| PMCF need | How AutoSearch delivers |
|---|---|
| Recurring search on a fixed cadence | Stored protocol re-runs on demand every 6/12 months. |
| Consistent, documented method | Identical query + recorded screening each cycle; CSV log. |
| Only review what is new | Delta against prior runs highlights new evidence. |
| Multi-database coverage | OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov. |
| PRISMA 2020 traceability | Flow diagram and evidence matrix regenerated each cycle. |
| Verifiable sources | Every DOI live-checked against Crossref; 0 fabricated in benchmark. |
Frequently asked questions
Why automate the PMCF literature review?
Because it repeats on a fixed cadence with the same method. Automating it removes weeks of duplicated manual work each cycle while keeping the search consistent and audit-ready.
Can I reproduce the exact same search next cycle?
Yes — that is the point. AutoSearch stores the protocol and re-runs it identically, so each PMCF update is comparable and traceable.
Does it cover PMS and PSUR too?
Yes. The same reproducible search supports PMS, PSUR literature inputs and state-of-the-art updates under MDR / IVDR.
Are the citations verified?
Yes. Every DOI is checked live against Crossref; our benchmark reports 0 fabricated DOIs across hundreds of references.
How much does it cost?
From CHF 29/month (Researcher, 300 credits) or one-time credits; a standard review is about 8 credits — far less than re-commissioning a manual search each cycle.
Set up your repeatable PMCF literature review
Define the search once with one research question; AutoSearch re-runs it every cycle and returns a PRISMA-grade, DOI-verified delta for your PMCF report.
