Yeah, I run into this problem all the time in the space. You build something really awesome, an either doctors don't care, it doesn't fit the workflow, or it turns out to be minimally useful in practice. We abandoned most NLP efforts and dump tagged terms into algolia for a lot of use cases and it works well enough to fit a prescribing workflow. The docs already know what their searching for, they just need to know its in the catalog and like the autocomplete.

If I might suggest something, maybe forget about targeting older doctors and researchers set in their ways. Go after the youth, the ones just starting their education in research/medicine, you'll find us far more pliable.
