AskSia turned my Epi I lectures into a Sia Note with study designs, biases, and worked 2x2 tables side by side. Confounding versus effect modification finally split cleanly.
Epidemiology AI: Causation that survives
the confounder check.
AskSia walks epi study designs, runs causal inference with DAGs, and handles biostatistics for clinical and population health. Built for Hopkins BSPH, Harvard Chan, Columbia Mailman, MPH and PhD epi programs. Web, mobile, LMS extension, desktop.
Can AI help with Epidemiology?
AskSia is the Epidemiology AI for university students taking epidemiology. Members report an average +0.6 GPA increase in one term. AskSia handles epi lecture transcription, multi-document Q&A across Epi I and II, Advanced Epi Methods, Biostatistics and Epi, Outbreak Investigation, Epi Research Methods, MPH Epi, a 98%-accurate epi homework solver with worked diagrams, study guides built on the AskSia-Method, visual concept maps, FSRS flashcards calibrated for epi, adaptive Mock Exam quizzes, an AI essay writer with citations, and an AI-text detector. Surfaced across web, mobile (iOS/Android), browser extension (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, Everytime), and a native desktop agent for Mac and Windows. Used at 2000+ universities globally. Free for college students.
It's not the p-value.
It's the grade.
Epi students lose points for missing a confounder, choosing the wrong study design, or confusing relative with absolute risk. AskSia catches what your TA catches.
For advanced methods I dropped my problem sets into AskSia. Got DAG analysis walked through with backdoor paths identified. Aced the causal inference short answer.
The Mock Exam mode generated epi case studies with auto graded numeric answers. Caught me using RR when OR was the right measure for the case control design.
Lecture, library, fieldwork, R/Stata session.
Phone for a quick HR check. Laptop in RStudio on the epi homework. Extension pulling Rothman from your LMS. Desktop agent over your senior thesis at midnight. One epi library, four surfaces.
Where DAGs meet defensible causal claims
Drag Rothman, Kleinbaum, Hernan-Robins, your problem sets, primary lit in. AskSia walks study design, builds DAGs, runs causal inference with proper identification.
Epi review on the way to fieldwork
iOS and Android. Photograph a study design diagram, a forest plot, or your handwritten DAG. AskSia returns the analysis with confounders identified and bias mechanisms explicit.
Epi course materials, synced
The Chrome extension adds a Sync button on Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle. Your epi syllabus, primary lit, datasets pull into one library.
Cmd+Space over RStudio, SAS, or your dataset
Native macOS and Windows. AskSia summons over RStudio, SAS, Stata, your Rothman PDF, or your epi dataset. Reads your selection and returns epidemiological analysis.
12 study tools built
for college epidemiology.
Stop juggling R for survival, Stata for cohort analyses, ChatGPT for study design (that confuses cohort with case-control), and your TA's office hours. AskSia is one workspace.
Epi lecture transcription
Record your epi lecture. 40+ languages, sub-100ms latency, epi terminology preserved.
OpenEpi multi-textbook Q&A
Drop Rothman, Kleinbaum, Hernan-Robins, your problem sets, and 80 papers. Ask 'why is this cohort study susceptible to selection bias' and AskSia answers with cited proof.
OpenStudy design walker
Walks RCT, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, ecological designs with strengths, limitations, and the right epi measure (RR, OR, HR, RD).
OpenYouTube to epi notes
Paste any Hopkins BSPH Coursera, Harvard Chan, or Hernán URL. AskSia transcribes, chapterizes, pulls the worked examples into a clean note.
OpenEpi Mock Exam mode
Adaptive practice across MPH epi core, PhD epi qualifying exams. Auto-graded with rationale on design and measure.
OpenSia Note for epi blocks
Turns 200 pages of cardiovascular epi readings into one note: study design, key papers, biostatistical findings, policy implications.
OpenDAG and causal inference walker
Builds DAGs from problem descriptions, identifies confounders and colliders, walks IPW, g-formula, and target trial emulation. Strong on Hernan-Robins.
OpenEpi flashcards · FSRS
Auto-built decks: epi measures, study designs, biases, key papers. FSRS spacing tuned to your exam.
OpenEpi concept map
The whole curriculum as a navigable tree from descriptive through inferential and causal epi. Each concept linked back to its textbook page.
OpenAI tutor for epidemiology
Voice-first or text. Walk through HR three different ways, drill confounders, or explain why immortal time bias matters for observational studies.
OpenTrained on real coursework at
the world's top universities.
Browse by university, subject, or course. Every entry maps to curated study patterns for that program.
