You can use Inciteful Med to ask medical questions without creating an account. Just go to incitefulmed.com, type your question, and press Ask.

Important: don't include personal information

Questions asked anonymously are not protected the same way authenticated questions are. Do not include personally identifiable information (PII) in an anonymous question.

That means: no full names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, medical record numbers, insurance IDs, or anything else that could identify you or someone else.

You can still ask detailed medical questions - just keep them about the condition or situation, not the person. For example:

Good: "What's the evidence on GLP-1 agonists for type 2 diabetes in someone over 65 with stage 3 CKD?"
Bad: "What's the evidence on GLP-1 agonists for John Smith, born 5/14/1958, MRN 123456, with type 2 diabetes and stage 3 CKD?"

If you want personalized research that uses your records, create a free account. Authenticated accounts are encrypted, scoped to you, and not used for model training. See Is it safe to share my medical records? for the full picture.

What you get

The same research engine and citation-backed answers as the full app
Access to clinical trials in your results when relevant
The ability to ask follow-up questions on the same topic in your thread

What's different from a full account

Without an account, you can't:

Save your research across devices
Add medical records for personalized answers
Share reports privately with specific recipients
Ask unlimited questions

Anonymous threads are tied to the device and browser you used to create them. If you clear your browser, they're gone.

How many questions can I ask?

There's a daily limit of 5 questions for anonymous users. You'll see a "Daily Question Limit Reached" modal when you hit it, with a live countdown to when the limit resets. Free accounts have no daily limit. See What are question quotas?.

Sharing an anonymous result

When you generate a shareable link from an anonymous thread, anyone with the link can view the read-only report - no account required on their end. The link is unguessable, but treat it as sensitive: anyone you share it with can see whatever's in the report. Another reason to keep PII out of the question itself.

Saving your work when you sign up

Hit Sign up from inside an anonymous thread and we'll associate that thread with your new account so you don't lose your research. You'll then be able to add records, ask follow-ups against them, and use all the personalization features.

Note: signing up later doesn't retroactively remove anything you already typed in the anonymous thread. If you put PII into an anonymous question by mistake, contact us and we'll help.
