How to Turn a Scientific Publication into a Medical Presentation
Turning a scientific publication into a medical presentation is a communication task as well as a design task. A useful deck helps a specific audience understand the research question, the methods, the findings, and the limits of the evidence. AI can assist with drafting and production, but the source publication should remain the reference point throughout.
1. Write the brief before generating slides
Define who will use the deck and what they should understand after seeing it. An internal Medical Affairs training session, an MSL discussion, and a scientific meeting presentation may need different levels of detail. Record the intended audience, approved source documents, required terminology, brand guidelines, and the review process.
A reusable brief is: “Create a presentation for [audience] explaining [scientific question] using [approved sources]. Include [required sections], retain [important qualifiers], and flag any statement that the sources do not support.” Avoid asking a tool to invent missing evidence.
2. Build the story around the research question
Start with an outline rather than a fixed number of slides. A practical structure is: context and research question; study design; population and endpoints; findings; limitations; and discussion. Allocate more space to concepts that need explanation. Keep exploratory analyses separate from the main findings.
3. Create a claim-to-source map
For every substantive claim, record its source and exact location. The map can be a simple table with these columns: slide number, proposed claim, source document, page or section, supporting passage or figure, and reviewer decision. A reference list alone does not show whether each statement accurately reflects its source.
For example, a row might read: “Slide 6 | [exact result statement] | [publication and version] | [page and table] | [supporting source extract] | [accepted / revise / remove].” This is a planning template; fill it with the actual evidence from your project.
4. Check charts against their data
When a table becomes a chart, verify the population, denominator, units, time point, labels, and uncertainty measures against the original. A correct number can still mislead if its context changes. Preserve the information needed to interpret a result and keep the source location visible to reviewers.
5. Review the design and the science together
Check that headings accurately describe the content, visual emphasis reflects the evidence, references remain legible, and qualifications have not disappeared during editing. If a slide changes, recheck its evidence mapping. Send the final candidate through the review required for its intended use.
Where Bionidi fits
Bionidi is an AI scientific content creation platform for life sciences Medical Affairs and Marketing teams. It creates publication-specific slide decks and other medical content from supplied publications and approved materials, with design and claim-to-source traceability built into the workflow. Human review remains part of producing an asset suitable for use.
When evaluating Bionidi, ask to see the same publication move through content planning, slide production, and evidence review. Inspect the output rather than judging only the initial generation speed. Explore Bionidi's Medical Affairs use cases or request a presentation workflow demo.
Before you release the deck
- Confirm the audience and intended use.
- Verify every substantive claim against the approved source.
- Check chart data, units, labels, and relevant qualifiers.
- Review scientific balance, limitations, and references.
- Record the final version and complete the required approval process.
