Obviously, the doctor is going to torn to shreds here...but I think this kind of misses something about medicine. You prescribe a drug, you know roughly what it does...but aren't totally sure what is going to happen when the specific patient takes it. SSRIs are a perfect example of this.
...and that is kind of why you hire a doctor rather than a computer who has looked at some studies...that isn't really what medicine is.
More generally: this just sounded like a terrible business model. Consumers and probably doctors would value the end product but are you going to get back the money spent on contractors manually going through these studies...no. I can see this making sense for a larger company but these kind of projects are terrible for one guy alone, they just tear through cash.
You also don't seem to have asked how doctors/insurance companies actually look at this data either. I am sure I have no idea but the first question should be: is the user looking through these studies manually? Did you survey doctors: how many studies do you look at a week? Do you look at them before prescribing? Etc...and probably do this before you build obv (and try to get money upfront).
