An example Workspace for one specialty, with an OpenEvidence answer just saved next to the trial papers. ## How do doctors use Kortex? Doctors and clinicians use Kortex, a Chrome extension for Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM), to keep guidelines, papers and OpenEvidence or ChatGPT answers in a notebook per topic, then prepare for CME, recertification and journal club with saved prompts and audio reviews. They keep patient information out unless their organization has approved the tool, and check answers against the cited source. ### Workflows on this page 1. [A notebook for each topic you follow](#topic-notebooks) 2. [Prepare journal club in one sitting](#journal-club) 3. [Study for CME and recertification](#cme) 4. [Listen on the commute](#commute) ## Keep patient information out Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account; Kortex itself doesn’t keep your chats or the contents of your sources. Follow your organization’s HIPAA and patient-data policies, and keep protected health information out of your notebooks unless your organization has approved the tool. We don’t claim HIPAA compliance, and Kortex is a reading and note tool, not a clinical decision tool. ## Where keeping up falls behind There is always more to read. Kortex keeps what you read where you can use it again. - **A useful OpenEvidence answer is gone by the time you want it again.** OpenEvidence, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini get a Send to Notebook button, so the answer lands in the topic’s notebook with your question. - **Guidelines, trial papers and society pages are scattered across tabs.** Highlight a passage and right-click to send it with the link and date. Paste a list of guideline and paper links into Bulk Import at once. - **CME and recertification prep starts from scratch every cycle.** Keep a notebook per exam or topic, run saved prompts for board-style questions, and find every quiz and study guide in All Artifacts. - **Journal club needs a summary everyone can read.** Run the [research paper prompt](/prompts/research-paper) on the paper, for its question, method, findings, limits and strength of evidence, then export it as PDF. - **There’s no time to sit and read.** Generate an Audio Overview of a topic and listen to it in your podcast app. ## Four ways to keep up None of these needs patient data. ### A notebook for each topic you follow Guidelines, trials and saved answers on one topic, labelled by type. 1. Create a notebook per topic, like Heart failure, and file them in a collection for your specialty. 2. Paste guideline and paper links into Bulk Import, one per line, and each becomes its own source. 3. Send OpenEvidence or ChatGPT answers worth keeping with the Kortex button on the chat. 4. Tag sources by type, like Guideline, Trial or Review, and filter the notebook by tag. ### Prepare journal club in one sitting A structured summary of the paper the group can read. 1. Add the paper to a Journal club notebook. 2. Run the [research paper prompt](/prompts/research-paper): question, method, findings, limits and strength of evidence, with numbers quoted from the paper. 3. Generate a briefing doc or a slide deck from the same source. 4. Export the summary as PDF for the group. ### Study for CME and recertification Board-style questions and study guides from the guidelines you trust. 1. Keep a notebook per exam section with the guidelines and reviews it covers. 2. Insert the [practice quiz prompt](/prompts/quiz) for board-style questions with an answer key, or generate Gemini Notebook’s own quizzes and flashcards. 3. Generate several formats at once and edit them before you download. 4. Find every set later in All Artifacts, filtered by notebook.

Generate an Audio Overview of a topic notebook, with instructions on what to cover. 2. Add it to a private podcast and listen in your podcast app. 3. Set a rule: when a notebook gets the tag #listen, its audio is generated and added to the podcast. ## What reviewers say about these features Quoted word for word and linked to where they were posted. Reviewers don’t say what they do for a living, so we picked reviews about the features on this page. > “Easy to use and works well! Just click on the NotebookLM button in a chat, and you will be prompted to add the chat to a new project or existing one. The newly created source is formatted very cleanly, with prompts and responses indicated clearly (no extra random characters, etc.)” [Steve Lang, on Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/reviews/f2cbf1b6-ba39-477c-bfb1-2a4d2294e31f) ## Prompts, tools and reading ### Prompts to copy - [Research paper breakdown](/prompts/research-paper) - [Literature review synthesis](/prompts/literature-review) - [Practice quiz](/prompts/quiz) - [Summary you can act on](/prompts/summarize) ### Free tools - [Research prompt builder](/tools/research-prompt-builder) - [Audio Overview planner](/tools/notebooklm-podcast-planner) ### Further reading - [Does Gemini Notebook Hallucinate?

[Ask us](#contact). ### Is Gemini Notebook HIPAA compliant? We can’t answer for Google, and Kortex doesn’t claim HIPAA compliance. Kortex sends what you import to Gemini Notebook in your own Google account and doesn’t keep the contents of your sources. Follow your organization’s HIPAA and patient-data policies, and keep protected health information out unless your organization has approved the tool. See [is Gemini Notebook safe and private?](/blog/gemini-notebook-privacy) ### Can I use the answers for patient care? Use them for reading and learning, not for clinical decisions. Gemini Notebook answers from your sources and cites each point, but it can misread a source, so check anything that matters against the guideline or paper it cites. ### Does Kortex work with OpenEvidence? Yes. OpenEvidence is one of the AI sites where Kortex adds its Send to Notebook button, alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. ### Can Kortex pull papers from PubMed? There’s no PubMed integration. Highlight and send a paper’s page, paste a list of links into Bulk Import, or add the PDF in Gemini Notebook if your access allows it. ### Is there a page for medical students? Yes: [medical and nursing students](/use-cases/medical-students) covers system-by-system notebooks and board-style practice questions. ## Start with the topic you’re reading now. Add Kortex to Chrome and save your next guideline or OpenEvidence answer to a notebook. Keep patient information out.
