Dr. Priya Sharma · IIT Delhi
Problem
PhD scholar in ML-Healthcare was 6 months behind schedule. Manual screening of 800+ papers across 7 databases was unsustainable with a 9-month thesis deadline.
Solution
Used Disha-ROL to parallel-query 7 databases (Scopus, WoS, IEEE, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, Wiley), auto-screen abstracts, and generate a PRISMA 2020 flow diagram + structured SLR draft.
Workflow
- 1Defined theme + 4 sub-themes in 15 minutes
- 2Disha-ROL queried 7 databases simultaneously (4 minutes)
- 3Auto-screening with inclusion/exclusion criteria
- 4PRISMA flow + thematic synthesis generated
- 5Human review + supervisor approval in 2 weeks
