About Voxsanity

Voxsanity pulls clinical trial registrations, drug approvals, and health research funding records from public government databases and writes them in plain English. It is a data presentation platform, not a medical advice service.

What Voxsanity is

Government health registries hold an enormous amount of information about treatment research in progress. ClinicalTrials.gov lists over 500,000 trials. The FDA publishes every drug approval. The NIH publishes every research grant it funds. This data is public, free, and legally available to anyone.

The problem is that most of it is written for researchers and regulators, not patients. Eligibility criteria for clinical trials are written at a reading level that requires around 22 years of formal education to understand. Most patients never see this data at all.

Voxsanity takes the same public records and writes them in plain English, updated daily, with no pharmaceutical advertising and no medical advice.

What Voxsanity is not

Voxsanity does not provide medical advice. Nothing on this site should be used to make decisions about your health without first speaking to a qualified medical professional.

Voxsanity does not tell you which treatment to pursue. It reports what is publicly known about treatment research and leaves clinical judgment to clinicians.

Voxsanity is not endorsed by the TGA, FDA, NIH, or any government body. It presents public data from those sources.

How it works

Every night, automated scripts pull updated data from ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA, NIH Reporter, OpenAlex, and other public government registries. That data is processed and stored in our database. Plain English descriptions of eligibility criteria are generated and stored alongside the original text. The website is rebuilt daily from this stored data.

The original source record is linked on every trial page so you can verify the underlying data directly. Every trial card shows the date the data was last pulled from the source registry.
