Tracking health policy, system performance, and medical innovation for Irish patients, clinicians, and public health professionals.
What is 0xBASE?
0xBASE is a multi-tenant intelligence aggregation platform that automatically ingests, clusters, and summarizes content from hundreds of sources. Its AI engine translates articles, generates concise TLDR summaries, and moderates discussion to surface the signal from the noise.
RSS and web scraper ingestion, semantic clustering using pgvector, AI-written TLDR briefs, comment moderation, and daily/weekly email digests.
Setting up a 0xBASE publication is conversation-driven: describe your editorial focus, and the system drafts pillars, categories, source lists, and moderation policies — no coding or content management required.
Irish Health Monitor curates and summarizes the most consequential developments in Irish healthcare for a readership that includes clinicians, policymakers, patients, and anyone following the sector. Every article is tagged with one of six editorial pillars and grounded in evidence.

Briefings
Briefings are structured intelligence digests that connect the most relevant developments across your mission pillars into one coherent read over defined time periods.
They are designed to surface patterns over time — not just isolated headlines — so teams can see what is changing, why it matters, and where to look next without scanning dozens of separate sources.
