Built to help pathologists triage the literature.
PathDigest exists for one reason: the volume of new pathology literature has outgrown the tools most of us use to keep up with it.
A practising pathologist who wants to stay current has to watch dozens of journals across multiple subspecialties. PubMed alerts help, but they arrive unsorted and undifferentiated — a case report, a landmark reclassification, and an editorial all land in the same inbox with no indication of which is worth opening.
PathDigest was created to compress that scanning-and-sorting work. It monitors 67 pathology and oncology journals across 12 subspecialties, tags every article by organ site and article type, flags open access versions, and attaches a short AI summary — so the decision of whether an article is worth your time can be made from the feed itself.
The project is independent and free to browse without an account. It does not host or redistribute article content; every entry links back to the original publication on PubMed, which remains the authoritative source.

How it works, in short
