At Trip, we continuously update our database with thousands of new articles each month, prioritizing the inclusion of high-quality evidence such as guidelines and systematic reviews. Our ‘Latest’ feature is designed to present these recent additions in a user-centric manner, tailored according to individual profiles. This customization occurs in two primary ways:

  • Clinical area: For users with specific clinical interests noted in their profiles, such as Gastroenterology, we curate and list the most recent, relevant evidence in that field. (Click here to explore the latest articles in Gastroenterology).
  • Personalised Topics: Users have the option to highlight particular topics of interest within their profiles. Based on these selections, we actively search for and recommend new articles that align with these specified interests, such as research on bipolar.

To ensure our users remain informed of the latest evidence, we distribute a monthly email containing a direct link to these updated resources. This link is accessible at any time, allowing users the flexibility to explore the latest findings at their convenience. While this feature is frequently utilized and appreciated by our community, we believe there are opportunities for enhancement to further enrich user engagement and satisfaction.

At the top is a list of 5 ‘key’ documents and below that a list of recorded search terms and/or clinical areas of interest. If you click on a link it takes you to a page of search results – the results being a search for the topic for content added that month:

Recognizing the current approach as ‘sub-optimal’—a diplomatic term for inadequate—we are in the process of re-evaluating this feature. It’s evident that users have a strong desire to access the most recent evidence related to their specific areas of interest, and we acknowledge the need for improvement in meeting this demand. We highly value your feedback and encourage you to share your insights and suggestions either through the comments section or by directly emailing me at jon.brassey@tripdatabase.com. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to enhance user experience and optimize our services for better search engine visibility and user satisfaction.
