Accelerating Systematic Reviews with AI-Powered Research Automation

Sotex built an AI-driven research automation platform that streamlines systematic reviews from citation discovery to evidence mapping. The solution automates screening, removes duplicate records, and unifies fragmented workflows into a single research environment. As a result, researchers reduced review timelines by up to 60 percent, improved accuracy, and generated evidence faster to support reliable, data informed decisions.

Overview

Systematic reviews are essential for evidence-based research but are often hindered by time-intensive data collection, screening, and analysis. PICO Portal AI transforms this process with artificial intelligence-driven automation, helping researchers identify citations, de-duplicate records, conduct full-text reviews, and map evidence more quickly and accurately.


Challenges

Traditional systematic review processes face several inefficiencies:

  • Time-consuming manual citation screening that leads to inefficiencies.
  • Duplicate records complicate data organization and reduce research accuracy.
  • Fragmented workflows are slowing down the review completion and evidence synthesis.
