ZnanyLekarz Gives Polish Doctors a Free AI Tool for Searching Medical Literature
ZnanyLekarz, part of the Docplanner group, has launched Noa Evidence, a free AI app that searches thousands of peer-reviewed publications and clinical guidelines in seconds. The tool aims to relieve doctors overwhelmed by the flood of new medical research.

ZnanyLekarz, a Polish platform owned by the Docplanner group, launched a new AI-powered tool called Noa Evidence on July 6, 2026. The app is designed to help doctors keep up with the growing flood of scientific publications that no single specialist can read and absorb on their own anymore.
How Noa Evidence works
Noa Evidence is a research assistant, not a diagnostic system. A doctor asks a question in natural language, and the app searches thousands of peer-reviewed scientific publications and clinical guidelines, then returns an organized summary along with links to the original sources so they can be independently verified.
The tool was built in collaboration with practicing physicians, which sets it apart from general-purpose AI chatbots. Docplanner stresses that Noa Evidence does not replace clinical judgment or a doctor's decisions, it simply cuts down the time needed to reach up-to-date medical knowledge.
The information overload problem
The scale of the problem Noa Evidence aims to solve is enormous. About 2.6 million new scientific articles are added to the largest medical databases every year. No doctor, even one working full-time on a literature review, could keep pace with that publication rate.
In practice, this means family doctors, specialists handling complex cases, and solo practitioners must choose between time spent with patients and time spent updating their knowledge. Data cited alongside the tool's launch shows that 77 percent of Polish doctors feel psychologically overloaded, and 43 percent point to intense time pressure as a daily professional problem.

Safety and the tool's limits
Docplanner is explicit about what Noa Evidence is not. The app does not make diagnoses, does not propose treatment plans, and has no access to records or data on specific patients. Its only job is to search and organize publicly available scientific knowledge and clinical guidelines.
That narrow scope carries regulatory weight. In the European Union, tools that support diagnostic decisions face far stricter requirements than simple literature search engines, so Docplanner deliberately positions Noa Evidence as a research assistant rather than a medical device under EU medical device regulations.
What it means for Poland's health market
ZnanyLekarz is one of the best-known technology brands in Polish healthcare, used by millions of patients to book appointments. Rolling out a free AI tool for doctors marks another step in the company's push to build an ecosystem of products supporting the entire care pathway, not just patient scheduling.
For Polish doctors, especially those working in small practices without access to analytics teams or paid databases like UpToDate, free access to a literature-analysis tool could meaningfully cut the time needed to prepare for tougher clinical cases.
Family doctors, specialists managing patients with complex conditions, and solo practitioners without the backing of larger institutions stand to gain the most, since keeping up with thousands of publications a year on their own is practically impossible.
