About SameCase

A two-sided clinical case network — by Pure City

Medicine runs on pattern recognition, but the patterns live in individual doctors' memories. SameCase begins with 27 clearly labelled illustrative teaching cases that show the shape of clinical reasoning without pretending to be patient records. The network is onboarding verified doctors who can contribute de-identified solved cases and match tough presentations as that real-world library grows. Patients and caregivers can describe what's happening without an account, name, or email, explore related public constructed teaching examples, and prepare concrete questions for their own clinician. Automated privacy checks cannot eliminate residual re-identification risk in free text.

What SameCase is not

SameCase is an educational platform. It does not diagnose, does not treat, does not replace a consultation, and no doctor–patient relationship is created here. Matching is a text-similarity comparison against de-identified cases — a similar story can have a completely different cause. That is exactly why the output is questions for your doctor, never answers. If symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, seek medical care immediately.

Who is behind it

SameCase is built and operated by Pure City, an independent health-research initiative founded in 2026. Its evidence-transparency work traces study funding, conflicts of interest, and regulatory positions behind health claims. Pure City also runs purecityresearch.org, an open ingredient-research library. SameCase applies the same principle to clinical learning: honest source labels, transparent limits, verified clinician contributors, and no hidden interests.

How doctors are verified

Doctors from any country can apply. Every contributing doctor supplies the registration held in their own jurisdiction, which is reviewed before the verified badge appears and publishing unlocks. SameCase uses a dependable official-register check where one is supported and a private, documented manual review against the relevant medical authority everywhere else. Verification is jurisdiction-specific, not a worldwide licence or endorsement. The registration number is used solely for verification and is never displayed. Doctors may publish under their real name or a credentialed pseudonym (e.g. "Verified Internist") — verification is independent of what is displayed.

How the platform stays trustworthy

Clinician-contributed cases can be published only by verified clinicians. SameCase Editorial may publish constructed teaching cases, which are labelled prominently and are never represented as patient records. Patient submissions pass a client-side identifier scanner and a second server-side scrub before storage; neither confirms de-identification. Thresholded aggregate patterns may be shown to verified clinicians. Opted-in individual reports remain quarantined until privacy review and are never public. We run no ads, sell no data, and block AI training crawlers from harvesting the case corpus — the full policy is in our editorial & data integrity policy.

Business model

SameCase is free for doctors and free for patients. We plan to keep it that way and to fund the platform through optional premium analytics for institutions in the future — never by selling personal data or running advertising.
