    How SlideCraft Pro generates, verifies, and improves medical presentations

    1. Introduction

    SlideCraft Pro is an AI-powered presentation studio designed for medical educators, researchers, and clinicians. It combines generative AI with evidence-based verification to help users create accurate, visually compelling slide decks grounded in peer-reviewed literature.

    This page describes the technical methodology behind content generation, evidence verification, and the clinical safety features built into the platform.

    2. AI Content Generation

    SlideCraft Pro uses Google Gemini 2.0 Flash to generate slide outlines from user-provided topics, key points, and clinical context. Each outline includes a title, description, speaker notes, and layout hints.

    Slide images are generated using Google Imagen 3, producing medical-grade infographics, diagrams, and visual aids tailored to the slide content and chosen style preset.

    Your content is never used to train AI models. Topics, prompts, and generated slides are processed on-demand and are not retained by AI providers for training purposes.

    3. PubMed Verification Pipeline

    The verification pipeline checks medical claims in your slides against the peer-reviewed literature indexed in PubMed. It operates in four stages:

    1. Claim Extraction — AI identifies verifiable medical statements from slide titles, descriptions, and speaker notes.
    2. Semantic PubMed Search — Each claim is transformed into a search query and matched against 30M+ articles in the NCBI PubMed database using the NCBI E-utilities API.
    3. Evidence Assessment — Retrieved articles are scored for relevance, and their evidence level is classified using publication type metadata and MeSH terms.
    4. Verification Report — Results are compiled into an interactive report showing confidence levels, source articles, alignment status, and actionable suggestions.

    4. Evidence Hierarchy

    Articles are classified into the following evidence levels, ranked from strongest to weakest:

    1. Meta-Analysis — Systematic statistical synthesis of multiple studies
    2. Systematic Review — Structured review of all available evidence (Cochrane, PRISMA)
    3. Randomized Controlled Trial — Gold standard for interventional studies
    4. Cohort Study — Prospective or retrospective observational study
    5. Case-Control Study — Comparison of cases with matched controls
    6. Case Report — Individual case or small case series
    7. Expert Opinion — Editorials, commentaries, consensus statements, and guidelines

    5. Critic Mode

    Critic Mode provides AI-powered deck review across five quality axes:

    • Clarity — Are claims clearly stated and unambiguous?
    • Evidence — Are statements supported by cited or verifiable sources?
    • Flow — Does the presentation follow a logical narrative progression?
    • Redundancy — Are there repeated points or unnecessary slides?
    • Depth — Is the content appropriately detailed for the target audience?

    Each finding is severity-ranked and includes an auto-fix option that applies the suggested correction directly to your slide content.

    6. Clinical Safety Disclaimers

    SlideCraft Pro automatically scans generated slide content for dosing and pharmacological keywords (e.g., mg, mcg, units, dose, dosage, contraindications, infusion rate, bolus, titration). When detected, a safety disclaimer is appended to the slide's speaker notes:

    "This slide contains dosing or pharmacological information. Verify against your local institutional protocol before clinical use."

    This feature is designed to remind presenters that AI-generated dosing information must always be verified against authoritative sources before clinical application.

    7. Guideline Localization

    The locality toggle allows users to filter clinical guidelines by geographic region during verification. Supported regions include:

    • US — AHA, ACS, NCCN, ACC guidelines
    • EU — ESC, ESMO, EAU guidelines
    • BR — SBC, INCA, CFM guidelines
    • Global — International guidelines (WHO, Cochrane)

    This helps ensure that evidence and recommendations align with the regulatory and clinical standards of the presenter's region.

    8. AI Limitations

    SlideCraft Pro is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used for direct clinical decision-making.

    AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, hallucinations, or outdated information. Large language models can produce plausible but incorrect medical statements, particularly around dosing, rare conditions, and emerging evidence.

    All AI-generated slides should be reviewed by a qualified medical professional before use in clinical or educational settings. The PubMed verification feature helps identify unsupported claims, but it is not a substitute for expert clinical review.

    Users are responsible for verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of all content before presenting it to any audience.

    9. Data Handling

    SlideCraft Pro is designed with data privacy as a core principle:

    • No PHI — The platform does not store, process, or transmit Protected Health Information. Users should never enter real patient data.
    • No training — Your content is never used to train or fine-tune AI models by SlideCraft Pro or its AI providers.
    • Encrypted storage — All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+) via Supabase on AWS infrastructure.
    • Row Level Security — Database-level policies ensure each user can only access their own data.
