Frequently Asked Questions

Is SURUS reliable?

We are constantly working on improving and scientifically validating SURUS. We work together with Dutch universities to make sure SURUS generates reliable results that healthcare professionals and researchers can use in their work every day. Our latest results show that SURUS can read scientific texts with an accuracy of more than 95%! If you would like to read more of our scientific publications, check out our Publications page.

How can SURUS read and analyze so much scientific information?

SURUS uses artificial intelligence methods to quickly analyze our enormous data collection. We call this Natural Language Processing, because it encompasses how AI can read and understand the language that we use. Are you interested in learning more about artificial intelligence and natural language processing? We’ve explained some of the basics in our blog posts. 

Why should I use AI-based consultancy?

We use AI to be able to analyze (scientific) information in a matter of seconds. When facing a problem, you want your solutions sooner rather than later. AI helps us to find your solution without wasting time manually reading thousands of articles. Of course, we guarantee the quality of your solution will be just as good, if not better, as human-based consultancy.

How do I conduct a literature review?

Begin with determining a type of review by assessing your data and goals. Are you writing a narrative review, systematic review, a meta-analysis or a network meta-analysis? You can read more about types of literature reviews on our blog.
