What is Lumina Systematic Review Software?
Lumina is a web application for researchers conducting systematic literature reviews. Instead of manually screening thousands of papers (which can take 40+ hours), Lumina's AI learns your inclusion criteria and ranks papers by relevance—so you focus on what matters.
Without Lumina
- Screening 5,000 titles manually
- Takes 40+ hours of tedious reading
- High risk of missing relevant studies
- Reviewing unorganized, non-prioritized lists
With Lumina The Better Way
- AI automatically ranks papers by relevance
- Screen just the top 20% to find 95% of hits
- Finish screening in hours, not weeks
- Get a second opinion from Pixel-bot AI

AI-Powered Screening with Relevance Scores
Our unique dual-scoring system combines semantic embeddings with a machine learning classifier that learns from your decisions in real-time. Every paper gets a relevance score—so you always screen the most promising papers first.
- Find 95% of relevant studies by screening just 20%
- Keyboard shortcuts (I/E/M) for blazing-fast decisions
- AI explains why each paper may be relevant

Deep learning model for early detection of Alzheimer's disease using MRI scans
Background: Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial for effective intervention.
Objective: We propose a deep learning framework to detect early-stage AD from structural MRI data.
Methods: We trained a 3D convolutional neural
network (CNN) on a dataset of 2,400 MRI scans from the ADNI database. The model
architecture uses attention mechanisms to focus on hippocampal atrophy patterns.
Results: The model achieved an accuracy of
96.4% and an AUC of 0.98 in distinguishing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from cognitively
normal subjects.
Conclusion: This automated approach shows promise as a supportive diagnostic tool in clinical
settings.
