Physio research, made usable.
Our Hypothesis is that we can make finding evidence easy.
Abstract:
PhysioKeys helps physiotherapists, students, and academics find and use physiotherapy research faster. Search or browse a curated physio journal set, scan key outcomes quickly, and save what matters into a personal evidence library. Built-in assistance helps you extract clinical details and stay organised — without replacing your judgement.
Introduction
Keeping up with research is hard — not because evidence is unavailable, but because it’s scattered, noisy, and time-consuming to digest. PhysioKeys is built for physiotherapy workflows: find relevant studies faster, understand them quicker, and keep your shortlists organised.
PhysioKeys is for:
- Clinicians who want evidence they can use in practice
- Students who want papers turned into clear notes and sources
- Academics who want to track the latest and build shortlists efficiently
Methods
Data sources
PhysioKeys draws from a curated physiotherapy journal set designed to stay relevant to clinical practice, education, and research.
Procedure
Users can discover research in two main ways:
- Search using questions or keywords
- Browse by discipline, journal, condition, or intervention
Extraction and synthesis
To reduce reading time, PhysioKeys presents papers in a structured, readable format — surfacing what most people look for first:
- population and context
- intervention/exposure
- main outcomes and results
- limitations and interpretation cues
Storage and organisation
Users can save, tag, and revisit papers to build a personal evidence library for patients, exams, lectures, or projects.
Results
Primary outcomes (what you get)
For Clinicians
- Faster access to physio-relevant research
- Clear takeaways to support decision-making
- A saved library for common cases and protocols
CTA: Explore Clinician Workflow →/clinicians
For Students
- Papers turned into readable notes you can revise from
- Cleaner source lists for assignments
- Topic libraries you can reuse across semesters
CTA: Explore Student Workflow →/students
For Academics
- A clearer view of what’s new across physio research
- Faster scanning to decide what deserves attention
- Organised shortlists by project or theme
CTA: Explore Academic Workflow →/academics
Secondary outcomes (workflow improvements)
- Reduced time spent skimming abstracts and PDFs
- Less “noise” when building a shortlist
- Better continuity: save once, reuse repeatedly
Discussion
PhysioKeys is designed to support how physiotherapists actually work: ask a question, find evidence, extract what matters, and keep it accessible for later. The goal isn’t to replace judgement — it’s to reduce friction between questions and usable evidence.
Interpretation notes
- Evidence quality varies by topic and study design; PhysioKeys helps you scan and organise, but clinical context still matters.
- When topics are complex or nuanced, the saved library becomes the real advantage — you build a personal shortlist you can trust and revisit.
Common questions
- Is this only for clinicians? No — the same research engine supports studying and academic workflows too.
- Do I need to write perfect search queries? No — start with keywords or a question and refine as you go.
- Is the assistance “AI chat”? It’s workflow support: faster summaries, structured key points, and organisation — without the hype.
Conclusion
PhysioKeys turns physiotherapy research into something you can actually use. Find it faster, understand it quicker, and build an evidence library that grows with you.
