Medically Autonomous Youth

Health research,
made readable.

MAYTech reads peer-reviewed research and explains it in plain language, with a citation behind every answer. Fair and accessible information about your health, for everyone.

Try the Beta See how it works

Good health information is hard to find, hard to read, and hard to trust. MAYTech fixes all three.

How it works

Ask. Search. Understand.

Type a health question the way you would ask a friend. Typos and casual wording are fine.

1

You ask

MAYTech works out what you are really asking, including when you describe symptoms without naming a condition.

2

We search the research

It searches PubMed and Semantic Scholar for peer-reviewed studies, and draws on a curated knowledge base when live search is unavailable.

3

You get a clear answer

Findings come back in plain language with links to the sources, so you can check every claim yourself.

Built for trust

Citations first.

Every answer is sourced

Answers are built from the research that was retrieved, and each one lists the studies behind it.

Personalized context

An optional profile (age range, conditions, wellness approaches) helps tailor how findings are explained. It stays in your own browser.

Follow-up questions

When the evidence is thin, MAYTech asks a clarifying question and suggests what to ask next.

Accessible by design

Screen reader support, skip links, and the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface throughout.

Safety

Emergencies come first.

If a message describes warning signs of an emergency, MAYTech stops showing research and tells you to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. MAYTech shares research summaries for education. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace a conversation with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

For clinicians

Send patients to sources they can read.

Patients often arrive with questions shaped by search results of mixed quality. MAYTech gives them plain-language summaries of the published evidence, with citations you can open and discuss together.
