Curriculum ingestion
Drop in lecture slides, assigned references and past papers. Pium reads them into a concept map of your actual course — emphasis, wording, and all.
AI study companion for medical students
Your curriculum knows what is on the exam. So should your study plan.
Pium ingests your own lectures, references and past papers, then turns them into an adaptive plan: spaced-repetition cards, case-based questions, and a tutor that answers from your material — with the slide it learned from cited, every time.

The honest problem
Six thousand slides stand between you and one exam.
Medical school is not hard because the ideas are impossible. It is hard because of volume — dense lectures, fragmented references, and exam formats that punish anyone who only ever read.
So students improvise: highlighters, re-reading, decks borrowed from a stranger's curriculum, and lately a chatbot that answers confidently whether or not it knows. None of these knows what your professor actually taught, and none of them will warn you about what you are forgetting.
-
Passive reading feels like studying
Re-reading a slide produces recognition, not recall. The exam tests recall. The gap between the two is where confident students fail.
-
Generic decks don't know your professor
Shared question banks cover a textbook's curriculum — not the emphasis, the wording, or the past papers of the course you are actually sitting.
-
Chatbots guess where guessing is dangerous
A general-purpose AI will invent a dose, a mechanism, or a contraindication with total confidence. In this field, a plausible wrong answer is the worst kind.
-
The exam is your first retention test
Most students discover what they forgot in the exam hall. By then the information is expensive. A study plan should surface it weeks earlier, while it is still cheap.
The approach
Studying from your curriculum, not around it.
You give Pium the material your exam is written from — lecture slides, the references your faculty assigns, past papers. Pium maps it into concepts, and everything else grows from that map.
The flashcards come from your slides. The case questions echo your past papers. And when you ask the tutor a question, it answers from the ingested material and shows you exactly where — lecture, slide, page. If the answer is not in your material, it says so instead of improvising.
That citation is the whole point. It is the difference between studying and gambling.
Why is metformin held before contrast imaging? My notes just say "stop it" with no reason.
Because of the kidneys, not the contrast itself. Contrast can transiently reduce renal function; if metformin is still on board while clearance drops, it can accumulate — and accumulation is what raises the risk of lactic acidosis.
Your course states it as: hold metformin at the time of contrast administration and restart after 48 hours once renal function is rechecked. That rechecking step is the detail your past paper asked about.

Is there an exact eGFR cutoff?
Your uploaded material doesn't give a numeric cutoff — it says "impaired renal function" without a threshold. I won't guess a number your course didn't teach. Worth confirming with your instructor before the exam.

What's inside
Seven tools. One source of truth: your material.
Everything Pium generates traces back to something you uploaded. No orphan facts, no mystery questions.
Adaptive spaced repetition
Cards return exactly when you are about to forget them. Struggle and the interval shrinks; nail it and the card gets out of your way for weeks.
Case-based questions
Vignettes in the style of your past papers: a presentation, a decision, a justification — because the exam asks you to reason, not to recite.
A tutor that cites its sources
Ask anything about the course. Every answer names the lecture and slide it came from — and admits it when your material doesn't cover something.
Retention analytics
See what you would actually score on each topic today — so the weak spots surface three weeks before the exam, not during it.
Study group decks
Share a deck with your group, split the card-writing, and challenge each other on the topics none of you wants to open alone.
Explanations in Arabic and English
The material is in English; the moment of actually understanding it often isn't. Pium explains any card, case or concept in Arabic or English — and switches mid-conversation when you do. Terminology stays in the language of your exam, so the explanation helps without moving the goalposts.

How it works
From a folder of slides to a plan you can actually follow.
Setup happens once per course, in about the time a lecture break lasts. After that, Pium tells you what to study today — and defends the answer with data.
-
1
Upload your course
Lecture slides, the chapters your faculty assigns, and any past papers you have. PDFs and slide decks, straight in.
-
2
Pium maps it
The material becomes a concept map: what the course teaches, what it emphasises, and which concepts the past papers keep returning to.
-
3
Study the daily plan
A short, honest daily queue — due cards, one or two cases, and whatever the exam date says can't wait. Miss a day and the plan reflows instead of shaming you.
-
4
Watch retention, not hours
The dashboard shows what you would score per topic today. When a topic goes green, stop studying it — Pium will bring it back before it fades.
The plan bends around your calendar, not the other way round.
Pium schedules backwards from your exam dates. Heavy review lands where your week has room, new material slows down as an exam approaches, and the two days before the exam hold nothing but your personally weakest cards.
-
Exam-aware pacing
Six weeks out, you learn. Two weeks out, you consolidate. Two days out, you close your own gaps — not a stranger's.
-
Reflow, not guilt
Life happens mid-semester. Skipped reviews redistribute across the days you have left, and the plan stays achievable instead of becoming a monument to week two.

Who it's for
Built for the health-sciences workload, wherever it lands.
The volume problem is the same in every white-coat degree. Pium meets it from the first foundations course to the final qualifying exam.
Medicine
From anatomy foundations to clinical rotations — case-based questions that make you commit to a decision before you see the answer.
Pharmacy
Mechanisms, interactions and dosing detail — the material spaced repetition was practically invented for.
Nursing
Procedures, red flags and prioritisation questions, grounded in the exact protocols your faculty teaches.
Health sciences
Lab medicine, public health, midwifery, allied health — if the course has slides and an exam, Pium can carry it.
Study groups & societies
A shared deck beats six private ones. Split the writing, review together, and let the group's challenge board make the dull topics competitive. Student societies can run a cohort deck for an entire year group.
Set up a group deckFaculties
Cohort-level retention analytics show which topics an entire year is quietly failing to retain — weeks before the exam says so, and without exposing any individual student's data to their instructors beyond agreed, aggregated reports.

Where we actually are
Pre-launch, and honest about it.
Pium is being built by An-Najah National University students inside Innopark, Nablus — for the medical and health-science cohorts studying a few buildings away. Our first users are our own classmates, which is a brutal and useful review panel.
We publish numbers when we have measured them, not before. The scoreboard below stays empty until it is true — the same standard we hold the tutor to.
- Students studying weekly
- —
- Cards reviewed

- Measured retention gain

Counted from real weekly active use once the first cohort is in, not from sign-ups.
Total reviews completed across all decks, reported from launch onward.
Published only from a properly measured before/after comparison, with the method alongside it.
What "grounded" means here
Every generated card, case and tutor answer links back to a location in material you uploaded. If it can't be traced, it isn't shown.
What we don't claim
Pium is a study tool, not a medical reference and not a clinician. It helps you learn your curriculum; it does not diagnose, treat, or replace your faculty's teaching.
Why An-Najah first
The founders sit in the same lecture halls as the first users. Feedback arrives at the next study session, not in a quarterly survey — that loop is the product's real advantage.
Fair questions
Asked by every classmate we've shown it to.
Short answers here; longer ones by email. If your question isn't listed, ask us directly — the honest questions are the ones that improve the product.
Is this a replacement for Anki?
If Anki works for you, keep it — the algorithm family is the same. What Pium replaces is the part Anki leaves to you: turning six thousand slides into cards, keeping them aligned with your course, and connecting them to a tutor and to past-paper-style cases. The scheduling is the easy half; the cards are the hard half.
Am I allowed to upload my lecture slides?
Your uploads are for your own private study — they are not published, pooled into a public bank, or shared with other students. That is the same personal-study use as your own notes. For cohort decks run with a faculty, the faculty licenses its own material explicitly.
Does the tutor ever answer beyond my material?
Not silently. If the answer isn't in your uploads, it tells you so and stops, rather than filling the gap from general training data. You can always take the question to your instructor — which is exactly what the tutor suggests.
Do I have to be at An-Najah to use it?
No. An-Najah's medical and health-science cohorts are our first users because they sit next to us, but Pium works from whatever curriculum you upload — any university, any country, Arabic or English.
What happens to my study data?
It stays yours. Individual review history is never sold and never shown to instructors. Faculty cohort reports are aggregated and agreed in writing before anything is shared — and students are told exactly what a report contains.
Can I study for clinical practice with it?
Pium is a study tool for your curriculum and exams. It is not a clinical reference and must not be used to make decisions about real patients — that line is built into the product, not just this paragraph.
Before the next exam block
Bring your slides. Keep the retention.
Upload one course and see it become a plan — cards, cases and a tutor that cites your own lectures. The core loop is free for students, and it will stay that way.
