Products that do what I Researched Semaglutide (Ozempic) Clinics in the United States does
I conducted a small data study to calculate the number of semaglutide clinics by city and state and analyze their correlation with obesity rates. I started the directory itself because I was helping a med spa clinic with their marketing and couldn’t find any existing directories specifically for semaglutide clinics. So, I decided to build one myself. Given I already had this data, I thought it would be interesting and helpful to share it publicly. Key Findings: -There is a moderate negative correlation between a state's obesity rate and the number of its per-capita semaglutide clinics.…

I was recently laid off after 18 years, and gave myself 100 days to build soething useful in public. CheapFoodMap is a crowdsourced map of meal under $10, excluding franchises, local good eats only. It's inspried by 거지맵 (Begger's Map) a Korean crowdsourced map students use to find cheap eats. Ocverage is heaviest in Texas, since I live in Dallas, but have 1200 meals across 15 US cities. Seed data came from Google Review, 4.2 star or higher with at least 500 reviews, and verified price under $10 per menu item. Things I would love feedback on : whether the price-freshness model makes sense,…

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

When I read papers, I have to jump between multiple tabs to find the dataset, code, videos, peer reviews, and so on. I tried to fix this with this project. It started as a project just for papers on arXiv, but after its initial success on Twitter (got like 1.9k views: the most I have gotten for a post), I have now expanded it to include other openly available papers from PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife. These papers have been linked with their genes, proteins, diseases, drugs, clinical trials, 3D protein structures, code, and cited and similar papers. This project now has four…

As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

I made a table where you can find out the source/location of factory for where health supplements are made. Then, I spent a year reading product labels so you can save time and money when buying supplements. This is that update. This is still a work in progress but it functions fine. My previous post was a simple database of company data showing ingredient sourcing/location. That took 10 days, this has taken me close to 9 months. BackOfLabel is an extension of that initial interest with dosage information at the product & ingredient level. This update allows sorting by many more…

I made a table where you can find out the source/location of factory for where health supplements are made. This is a work in progress but it functions. At the moment you can sort by cGMP/GMP certification. * Full disclosure - if you purchase anything using the links, i earn an small affiliate fee (5%) I made this to help demystify the language behind product labelling, which in many cases is obfuscating the manufacturing and sourcing of certain products

We are super excited to release our latest open-source demo, Healthsearch. This demo decodes user reviews of supplements and performs semantic- and generative search on them, retrieving the most related products for specific health effects, and leveraging Large Language Models to generate product and review summaries. The demo can understand natural language queries and derive all search filters directly from the context of your query.

I built an open labeling standard for tracking mushroom specimens through their lifecycle (from spore/culture to harvest). v1.1 adds clonal generation tracking (distinct from filial/strain generations) and conforms to JSON-LD for interoperability with agricultural/scientific data systems. Spec (CC 4.0): https://wemush.com/open-standard/specification Client libraries (Apache 2.0): Python + CLI: pip install wols (also on GHCR) TypeScript/JS: npm install @wemush/wols Background: Mycology has fragmented data practices (misidentified species,…

Link: http://www.distilbio.com DistilBio lets you look up detailed information on drugs, diseases, proteins etc. You can ask questions like "Find drugs which interact with Tylenol, and proteins which are targeted by these drugs", or build more complex queries if you like. While it is targeted at scientists in the life sciences field, we've found that many people like finding out more about drugs they're using, diseases they know about etc. We're continuing to add more data and make it more useful for the layman too. We thought we'd like to show our app to HN users and solicit feedback before…

Hi everyone, OpenAEDMap ( https://openaedmap.org/ ) allows you to find (and add!) AEDs in your area. These devices have proven themselves as life-savers in heart failure - when every second matters. The data is synced to OpenStreetMap database, so it's openly licensed (ODbL) and can also be used in other OSM-based apps. AFAIK, there is no other comparable map - they are either proprietary or show a single country. Frontend: https://github.com/openstreetmap-polska/openaedmap-frontend Tech stack: React, MapLibre GL JS, Bulma Backend:…

Hi HN! Disclaimer: A blog post[0] on this topic ended up on HN's front page recently (which had a link to GlacierMD) but I'd already written this whole "Show HN" spiel so I figured I'd submit it anyway. Hopefully this doesn't come across as too spammy! (The previous post was really more about the problem, not my proposed solution.) Anyway, thanks for checking out GlacierMD—a consumer health tool I've been hacking on for the last few months. I chose long COVID as the first condition because (sadly) lots of people have it[1] and the research is changing rapidly[2]. Unlike other health…

Been exploring the Transparency in Coverage Rule (https://www.cms.gov/healthplan-price-transparency) that forces every health insurer to publish their contract rates with every provider they have in network in a machine readable format (json files) These published files are massive (about a petabyte of data a month with individual files up to 20GB) and a PITA to dig through. We built HealthPlanExplorer.com to make it easy to search the files. You can: - choose any in network file (as many as you want) - search by National Provider Identifier (NPI) - search by CPT Code And…

Hi everyone! We're relaunching Crystal, which lets you search and analyze 300k+ government datasets using plain English. For example, prompting "Air quality since 2020 in NYC" will find the most relevant datasets for you. We find it's way better than any search tool out there today, like data.gov. We're hoping anyone who uses public data as a resource, like researchers, consultants, journalists, etc. will find it helpful. Crystal is straightforward - it's in alpha, so there's only a few queries per person, and the app itself is in its infancy. We're invested in making this better for people,…

I've been building a bunch of US geography tools/games/visualizations and thought folks on HN might like this one. There are also drive-time and bike-time tools available on the same page. For folks interested, all of the data comes from OpenStreetMap and the US Census at the moment - OSM for routing and points interest and the US Census for population data. Anonymous users can use it 5x/day. I put up a waitlist page to gauge interest in a paid version but there's no way for the public to make an account - feel free to bypass the limits in an incognito tab. The site is US-only…

Hi HN, I’d like to share MediSearch with you. A few months ago, I had a knee injury and got several surgery options from doctors. I had to make an important decision, but the medical information search experience was terrible. The sites I found either did not answer my questions (long health blogs) or were too technical to easily understand (scientific papers). This gave me and my friend the idea for MediSearch. Our goal is to build a system that provides direct accurate answers to medical questions based on trustworthy sources. We’d like to make MediSearch helpful to everyone and we still…
