Region Selection
Vero Evidence tailors responses based on your selected region. Click the country dropdown in the search bar to choose:
🇨🇦 Canada — Canadian guidelines, formulary, and practice standards
🇺🇸 United States — US guidelines, FDA-approved therapies, and protocols
🌍 International — Region-agnostic, evidence-based guidance
When region matters
Vero automatically prioritizes region-specific information for:
Clinical practice guidelines and treatment algorithms
Drug availability and formulary options
Screening recommendations and intervals
First-line therapy selections
When region doesn't matter
For universal medical science, Vero draws from global evidence:
Pathophysiology and disease mechanisms
Drug pharmacology and mechanisms of action
Drug-drug interactions
Adverse effects and contraindications
Patient Context
Attach a patient profile to receive answers personalized to their clinical situation. Vero incorporates relevant patient factors, without you needing to repeat them in every question.
How to attach a patient
Click the patient icon in the search bar
Select an existing patient.
Ask your question; Vero will factor in their context automatically
What Vero considers
When a patient is attached, Vero intelligently incorporates:
Age — Pediatric, adult, or geriatric dosing and screening
Sex/Gender — Pregnancy considerations, hormone-related conditions, sex-specific metabolism
Past Medical History — Conditions affecting diagnosis or treatment selection
Current Medications — Drug interactions, therapeutic duplication, contraindications
Allergies — Cross-reactivity screening before recommending therapies
Social History — Smoking, alcohol, occupation, and lifestyle factors affecting treatment
Example
With a patient profile showing CKD (eGFR <30) and current ARB therapy:
Without patient: "What's the first-line treatment for hypertension?"
With patient: Vero adjusts recommendations for renal function, flags medications requiring dose adjustment, and considers current ARB therapy
⚠️ Privacy note: Identifying patient health information are never included in Vero's search. All sensitive information is parsed and removed before a search occurs.
Attaching Files

Guidelines or protocol documents
Evidence hierarchy
Vero uses a Level of Evidence (LOE) framework to evaluate and prioritize sources. This ensures answers are grounded in the highest-quality scientific evidence available, not opinion pieces or low-quality reports.
The evidence hierarchy
Vero categorizes sources into five levels based on study design, methodology, and scientific rigor:
What Vero prioritizes
When answering your question, Vero searches for the highest available evidence level:
Level I–II sources are preferred — These form the foundation of evidence-based answers. If guidelines or systematic trials appear, they will be cited first
Level III sources are used cautiously — Only when higher-level evidence is unavailable
Level IV–V sources are generally excluded — Expert opinion and case reports rarely appear in responses
Source selection criteria
Beyond evidence level, Vero evaluates sources on:
Recency — Newer guidelines and studies take precedence over older ones
Relevance — Sources must directly address your clinical question
Authority — Peer-reviewed journals and recognized medical organizations are prioritized
Region — When you select a country, local guidelines are preferred over international ones
Sources Vero uses
Official clinical practice guidelines from recognized organizations
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Peer-reviewed medical journals (NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, CMAJ, etc.)
Randomized controlled trials and clinical trials
Authoritative drug references
Handling Conflicting Evidence
Medical literature doesn't always agree. When sources conflict, Vero takes a balanced, transparent approach.
When guidelines disagree
If authoritative guidelines recommend different approaches:
Vero presents the most recent guideline first — newer guidelines incorporate the latest evidence
Regional guidelines take precedence when you've selected a country
Key differences between approaches are highlighted
When studies conflict
If clinical studies reach different conclusions:
Vero weighs evidence by level and recency
Higher-level evidence (RCTs, meta-analyses) outweighs lower-level studies
When high-quality studies disagree, Vero presents both viewpoints with citations
When evidence is limited
If your question addresses an area with sparse research:
Vero clearly states that evidence is limited
Available evidence is presented with appropriate caveats
Vero avoids definitive recommendations when data doesn't support them
Transparency in uncertainty
Vero matches its certainty to the evidence:
Strong evidence → Direct recommendations with citations
Moderate evidence → Recommendations with noted limitations
Limited/conflicting evidence → Multiple viewpoints presented, uncertainty acknowledged
💡 Why this matters: Clinical decisions require knowing not just what the evidence says, but how strong that evidence is. Vero's approach ensures you understand both.
Citations
In Research Mode, responses include inline citations linked directly to source material.
How citations work
Citations appear as numbered links after the statements they support
Click any citation to view the original source
Multiple sources may support key claims
Citations are distributed throughout the response—not grouped at the end
Citation quality standards
Every citation in Vero meets strict criteria:
Accuracy — Citations link to the exact source referenced
Relevance — Only sources that directly support the statement are cited
Diversity — Answers draw from multiple authoritative sources
Trustworthiness — Only peer-reviewed and authoritative sources are cited
Tips for Better Results
Ask specific questions
❌ "Tell me about diabetes"
✅ "What is the first-line treatment for newly diagnosed T2DM in a patient with CKD stage 3?"
Include clinical context
❌ "Best antibiotic for pneumonia"
✅ "First-line antibiotic for community-acquired pneumonia"
Use the right mode
Quick factual lookups → Instant Mode
Guideline verification or complex cases → Research Mode
Leverage patient profiles
Attach patient context for questions involving:
Medication dosing adjustments
Drug interaction checks
Age or condition-specific recommendations
